SPRINGERBRIEFS IN WATER SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY ...

This book contains detailed information about the traditional rainwater structures. Harvesting
rainwater is becoming as a practical adaptation strategy for urban areas that are vulnerable to
climate alteration. In the past  rainwater harvesting was more significant than it is today.
Studies show that a variety of traditional and age-old rainwater gathering techniques were
created or put into use in reaction to earlier climate change incidents. According to history 
both floods and droughts were frequent occurrences in ancient India. Perhaps this explains why
each region of the nation has its own traditional water gathering practices that are
representative of the local physical and cultural diversity. All of these methods can be seen
as a concept of harvesting rain whenever and wherever it falls. Water makes up 70.9 % of the
Earth's surface  mainly in the form of oceans and seas. Water is found in modest proportions as
1.7 % groundwater  1.7 % glaciers and ice caps in Antarctica and Greenland  vapour  clouds (ice
and liquid water suspended in air)  and 0.001% precipitation in the air. Evaporation 
transpiration  evapo-transpiration  condensation  precipitation  root absorption  percolation 
infiltration  base flow and runoff are processes that water goes through on its way to the sea.
