The lack of rainwater is known as a drought. A drought is when you haven't come across rainfall in a specific area over a long period of time
After rainwater soaks into Earth's soil, it is called groundwater.
Rain water is collected through a process named Rainwater harvesting. Here rainwater that falls on the roofs are collected through pipes and ultimately stored in large tanks. These are called harvesting tanks also.
Infiltration.
Rainwater that soaks into the ground is called groundwater. This water can replenish aquifers, provide a source for wells, and contribute to the overall water cycle.
When rainwater penetrates into the ground, it is referred to as infiltration.

When rainwater penetrates into the ground, it is referred to as infiltration.
Rainwater that does not soak into the ground is called surface runoff. It flows over the surface of the ground and can collect in streams, rivers, and eventually make its way to lakes or oceans.
It is called a gutter.
It's estimated that a significant percentage of rainwater, often around 50% or more, goes unused and is considered wasted, primarily due to runoff and inefficiencies in collection systems. Factors such as urbanization, inadequate infrastructure, and lack of rainwater harvesting practices contribute to this wastage. By implementing better management strategies, communities can capture and utilize a larger portion of rainwater for various purposes.
A lack of light is called darkness.
