Abstract: Rainwater harvesting (RWH) is a sustainable solution to the increasing demand for water in urban areas, which face challenges such as water scarcity, infrastructure overloading, and environmental degradation. This paper explores various techniques of rainwater harvesting in urban infrastructure, including rooftop collection, surface runoff capture, and infiltration methods. It discusses the benefits of RWH, such as reducing pressure on potable water supplies, mitigating urban flooding, and improving groundwater recharge. Additionally, the integration of RWH systems in urban planning and development, along with challenges faced, are examined in the context of the future of urban water management.
