Is RWH a traditional way of conserving water?
Yes, RWH is a traditional way of conserving water. Infact, our ancestors harvested and conserved rain water just as they grew crops on lands. It is just that we lost touch with our traditional practices. But today as we face acute water shortages, this tradition has been revived. However in many parts of India, the traditional structures of water harvesting still exists. For e.g. – johads and baoris in Rajasthan, zings in Ladakh, eris in Tamil nadu, temple tanks, etc.
