Rain lands in the mountains and runs into streams and rivers. If the river is dammed, then the water is collected behind the dam. It can be used for irrigation, to supply drinking water to communities, and to generate electricity through hydro-electric power.
It is also collected from rooftops into rainwater tanks, which can store water for garden or personal use.
