Question

Rainwater harvesting is collecting & storing rainwater, which includes activities aimed at:

• A. harvesting surface water
• B. groundwater
• C. prevention of losses through evaporation and seepage
• D. all of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D all of the above

In general, water harvesting is the activity of the direct collection of rainwater. The rainwater collected can be stored for direct use or can be recharged into the groundwater. Rain is the first form of water that we know in the hydrological cycle, hence is a primary source of water for us. It is also the infiltration of surface water into subsurface aquifers (before it is lost as surface runoff).

Hence, option $D$ is correct.
