Water is so precious.In rainy season lot of water is wasted,without any use.If we conserve or store that water,we can preserve the precious wealth.But preserving it is the main problem.One solution to preserve it to make small well in different corners of our house to store it or make use of a tank on top of terrace to collect the water.

Yes I stored rain water because this water is useful in my inverter battery. But not store for other purpose like washing the cloth or bathing.

There are many ways to store water, the archeologists have found some innovative solutions in ancient towns.
There are also some ways to use the humidity in the air and catch it and make it condensate. I think it is used in the west coast in South America where there is almost no rain. It makes it possible to grow vegetables there, which would not be possible otherwise.

Oh my..this has been 6 years ago! anyway, we used to store rain water for cleaning purposes. When I was a kid, me and my siblings used to bathe stored rain water until we find out that cats on the roof leaves their poo there and that's where our saved rain water came from

I think rain water harvesting is one of the best method of saving water and solution for the water problems. I am trying to save rain water and trying to use it for domestic purposes so that I can cut short the water bills. I am planning to put a rain water system in the future. I think everyone can save rain water by just having a big plastic tank or big storing device and use the rain water for domestic purposes.
