Rain water harvesting and ground water recharging is the need of the hour. Roof top rain water harvesting are being taken up in urban areas. In roof top harvesting u r to collect rain water and using a filter clean it, then send it to the aquifer through a tube well or dug well. In open field u can recharge ground water storing the rain water in numerous tanks, ponds, contour trench etc disallowing the rain water to drain to river and finally to ocean.
