Abstract:
Water scarcity severely impairs food security and economic prosperity in many countries today. The scarcity of water is directly linked to climate change, and its impact is clearly visible given the temperature and rainfall variability, and occurrences of drought that have increased and intensified over the last two decades. Rainwater harvesting (RWH) is listed among the specific adaptation measures that the water sector can use to cope with water scarcity due to climate change.
