Water is essential to life on earth. If water is

constantly being cleaned and recycled

through the earth’s water cycle, why do we

need to conserve it?

The answer is that people use up our planet’s

fresh water faster than it can naturally be

replenished. One of the best ways to conserve

water is through rain water harvesting.

Rainwater harvesting is the accumulating and

storing, of rainwater. Rainwater collected

from the roofs of houses, building compounds

can make an important contribution to the

availability of water.
