Abstract
Climate change is causing problems for the whole world: extreme weather conditions, aridity, water scarcity, drought, flood, stormy rainfall and so on. Rainwater harvesting is considered as a sustainable practice to solve aforementioned problems, which involves collecting, storing and using rainwater for various purposes. This article, in turn, is going to shed the light on the importance, application, requirements along with benefits of rainwater harvesting.
