And they harvest rain in many ways.

Their spending loads, loads, to channel that rainwater out into the ocean when it rains and floods as well.

So, this is the first device they use in harvesting rain.

Some of the early incorporation of stormwater engineering is evidenced in ancient Greece.

(i) Using efficient irrigation and rainwater harvesting technologies

Representatives of the International Rainwater Harvesting Alliance and the Canton of Geneva also made statements.

And all the rainwater that drops on the Mountain is actually accumulated.

He enumerated coping strategies, such as polyculture, rainwater harvesting, migration, and afforestation.

And it can collect six million gallons of rainwater in one season.

Rainwater collected from the roofs of houses and local institutions can make an important contribution to the availability of drinking water.

People wading through the 'lakes' formed by the rain can also be seen.

They have not enough water on most days and too much to handle when it rains.

So every one of our schools have rain water collection systems, very low cost.

So every one of our schools has a rainwater collection system.

A sensitivity analysis shows that the GSBR technology is less sensitive to land price and more sensitive to rain water flow.

But we use drinking quality water for things that don't really need it (20 of our drinking water is used to flush toilets) while stormwater and water from our showers washing machines and basins goes down the drain, wasted.

Another important point of these sand banks is that when it rains, the rainwater soaks down into the soil. So, it's gone.

Also at the 4th meeting, a statement was made by the representative of the International Rainwater Harvesting Alliance, a non governmental organization.

(we have around 26 bilion litres of stormwater run off every year)

Another important point of these sand banks is that when it rains, the rainwater soaks down into the soil.

Specific support will focus on community management of local water resources, including rainwater harvesting (for use by households and schools, and groundwater recharge), micro watershed management and operational research.

Farmers were still not allowed to use the water of Mas'adah Lake, dig wells or collect water from rain or snow.

62. The Environmental Health Department has made tremendous strides in the monitoring of the quality of drinking water.

Water collected from the ground, sometimes from areas which are especially prepared for this purpose, is called stormwater harvesting.

Presentation of results of the pilot project on the collection of rain water, experiment conducted by UNICEF and the Water Supply and Sanitation Collaborative Council (WSSCC)

This rise could be explained by the fact that more people make use of unsafe water sources such as ponds during the rainy season.

In fact they go 15 feet deep, and collect rain water from roof, there is a small pipe, and from their courtyard.

Barefoot technology this was 1986 no engineer, no architect thought of it but we are collecting rainwater from the roofs.

Rainwater harvesting is also widely employed as a relatively low cost option, both for household use and for small scale irrigation.

Or, if you want to paint, you can paint it blue throughout because every roof which you see in this picture collects rainwater drops and deposit in the rooms.

Topsoil should actually form a thick, living layer everywhere on the ground which enables rainwater to filter in.

Water demand management policies could also be used for reducing the waste water volumes and required investment in sewerage.

Like rainfall!

Green roofs also retain up to 75 percent of rainfall, so they reduce a city's need to fund costly end of pipe solutions which, incidentally, are often located in environmental justice communities like mine.

(ii) Developing capacities in the area of water desalination, treatment of contaminants, rainwater harvesting and water efficiency through technology transfer and sharing of best practices

This is true both for the public infrastructure (drains, depressions where water accumulates during the rainy season, broken drinking water supply pipes) and in the private homes (roof top, drinking water tanks, and water collections inside and around the house).

The wall was obstructing many water run off flows in the Qalqiliya region that normally diverted water and prevented floods.

Rainfall is up.

During the rainy season,

If it's still running.

Now the water table is falling at a dangerous pace, as the underground water is being pumped much faster than the rains are recharging it.

Some Parties considered the following measures establishment of seed banks and identifying least cost measures, such as switching crops and or cultivars, soil improvement, and rainwater management.

It had taken years of careful planning and infrastructural works to alleviate the flood situation and channel as much rainwater as possible into reservoirs.

The Committee noted the importance of understanding the global water cycle and rainfall in water resource management, food production and natural disaster management.

WHO is collaborating on the implementation of the Caribbean Basin water management project, now being hosted at the Caribbean Environmental Health Institute.
