Solution

The correct option is D rainwater harvesting
  • Groundwater - Groundwater is the water found beneath the Earth’s surface. Wells and hand pumps are used to extract the groundwater. Therefore, this is a source of water and is not associated with the given phrase.

  • Condensation - Condensation is the process by which water vapours in the atmosphere get converted into tiny droplets of water. Many tiny droplets combine to form bigger drops. This process results in the formation of clouds.​ This term explains about the formation of clouds and hence it is not relevant to the phrase given.​

  • Evaporation - Evaporation is a process by which water from the water bodies rises in the atmosphere in the form of vapours.​ And this term is again not related to the phrase.

  • Rainwater harvesting - The technique by which rainwater is collected and stored, rather than allowing to to run off is called rainwater harvesting. One method is called rooftop rainwater harvesting in which the water from the roofs of houses is collected and stored in the underground tanks for later use. The phrase 'Catch water where it falls' is related to this technique as it means capturing the rain where it falls.
