The process of conserving rainwater by collecting, storing and purifying that runs off from rooftops, parks, roads, open grounds, etc. for later use is called rain water harvesting.
Rain water can be harvested by storing the rain water for direct use.
Rainwater gathered on the building's rooftop may be channeled to a filtration tank, from which it goes into the recharge well, via drain pipes.
Drain pipes can be used to divert rainfall gathered in open areas to a recharge excavated well via filtration tanks.
