Rainwater Harvesting for Farms to Maximize Water Availability
Rainwater harvesting is a simple yet effective way to collect and store rain for agricultural use. Farmers build ponds, tanks, or trenches to capture runoff during monsoons. This stored water can be used during dry seasons for irrigation. Rainwater harvesting helps recharge groundwater and reduces dependence on borewells and external sources. It’s a low-cost solution that improves water availability and supports sustainable agriculture. Many farmers now use this method for water security.
