Rainwater harvesting: A climate change mitigation

Abstract

The global and regional systems for managing water resources are thought to be significantly impacted by climate change. Due to the fact that poor nations are most impacted, it has grown to be a significant worldwide problem. Natural disasters like aridity, droughts, floods, cyclones, and severe rainfall are all likely to have an impact on humans. Water scarcity can be brought on by climate change in some countries through persistent droughts. The rising population will result in a greater demand for water. Cities are becoming more vulnerable to water-related problems as a result of increased urbanization, changing rainfall patterns, and industrialization. The supply and demand of water can be balanced through the implementation of sustainable practices. In the event of future climate change, rainwater harvesting systems offer an alternative source of water and specific adaptation strategies for coping with water scarcity. The adoption of rainwater harvesting systems is discussed in this article as a strategy for climate change.
