Abstract

Water is one of the most important resources on Earth. In every way, water is crucial to our daily existence. The amount of water that is available in cities is never enough to meet the entire demand. We must rely on water from underground sources because surface water is not readily available. The amount of rainwater that soaks into the subsurface and replenishes ground water has significantly decreased as a result of rapid urbanisation. In this instance, there must be additional supply to satisfy the demand. When it rains, pure rainwater can be gathered "wherever it falls" to instantly replace the water supply. The act of gathering and organising rainwater in a systematic way for later use is referred to as "rainwater harvesting". Two types of rainwater harvesting that could be used in the research region are rooftop and surface runoff harvesting. By adopting a rainwater harvesting system and constructing natural percolation pits, the groundwater level, soil moisture, and soil fertility can all be increased for plantations. Therefore, using this simple strategy typically leads to more vegetation, which raises the aesthetic value. This article examines every rainwater harvesting system established in the Maharashtra district of Sakri in Chhadvel Korde.
