Pioneering work in rainwater harvesting is often attributed to various cultures and individuals throughout history. However, modern advancements can be significantly credited to figures like Dr. S. S. S. K. Chandrasekaran in India, who promoted its use for sustainable water management. Additionally, organizations like the Rainwater Harvesting Association have helped to popularize and implement rainwater harvesting techniques globally. Various local and indigenous practices also play a crucial role in the development of this field.
Rainwater harvesting is an effective and sustainable practice for managing water resources, particularly in areas facing water scarcity. It helps reduce dependence on traditional water supply systems, mitigates flooding, and promotes groundwater recharge. By capturing and utilizing rainwater, communities can enhance their resilience to climate change and ensure a more reliable water supply for various uses. Overall, rainwater harvesting contributes to environmental sustainability and water conservation efforts.
The harvesting machine, specifically the mechanical reaper, was invented by Cyrus McCormick in 1831. His innovation significantly increased the efficiency of grain harvesting and revolutionized agriculture. While there were earlier attempts and variations of harvesting devices, McCormick's design is credited with laying the foundation for modern harvesting technology.

There are two types or rainwater haversting. Rooftop rainwater harvesting and drain harvesting. In rooftop rainwater harvesting, we use the water collected on rooftops instead of letting it go down the drain. We can also use water collected in dugout ponds, underground vessels etc. Drain harvesting involves letting water collected in roadside drains go straight to the ground. But this water has to be treated before use as it may contain bird faeces, germs and other pollutants.
