Sinopse

This bookácontains detailed information about the traditional rainwater structures. Harvestingárainwater is becoming as a practical adaptation strategy for urban areas thatáare vulnerable to climate alteration. In the past, rainwater harvesting wasámore significant than it is today. Studies show that a variety of traditionaláand age-old rainwater gathering techniques were created or put into use ináreaction to earlier climate change incidents. According to history, both floodsáand droughts were frequent occurrences in ancient India. Perhaps this explainsáwhy each region of the nation has its own traditional water gathering practicesáthat are representative of the local physical and cultural diversity. All ofáthese methods can be seen as a concept of harvesting rain whenever and whereveráit falls.áWater makesáup 70.9 % of the EarthâÇÖs surface, mainly in the form of oceans and seas. Wateráis found in modest proportions as 1.7 % groundwater, 1.7 % glaciers and iceácaps in Antarctica and Greenland, vapour, clouds (ice and liquid waterásuspended in air), and 0.001% precipitation in the air. Evaporation,átranspiration, evapo-transpiration, condensation, precipitation, rootáabsorption, percolation, infiltration, base flow andá runoff are processes that water goes througháon its way to the sea.
