VD.60-Introduction to land-based rainwater harvesting - ( RUVIVAL ).
Water is the limiting factor for food production in arid and semi-arid regions of the world, especially in areas where rain-fed agriculture dominates.
In these areas, land-based rainwater harvesting can be used to enhance crop yields.
These systems can also be used for stormwater management and flood control in areas with a high and unpredictable rainfall rate.
Additionally, they can be applied as an erosion control mechanism.
