Rainwater Harvesting: A Lifeline for Human Well-being

‘Rainwater Harvesting: A Lifeline for Human Well-being’ is aimed at compiling a synthesis of experiences that can provide insight into the multiple opportunities rainwater harvesting can have when addressing human well-being, while continuing to sustain a range of ecosystem services.

Produced by the United Nations Environment Programme, the report notes that rainwater harvesting is a local intervention that improves equity, gender balance and strengthens social capital in a community.
