Suitable for
• Dry environments where low and poorly distributed rainfall
• Rainfed areas, where crops can be produced but low with low yields
• In arid land suffering from desertification
• Remote communities where water supply for domestic and animal consumption is not sufficient

Conclusions
• Rainwater harvesting is a viable option for the drier environments and remote communities
• Involvement of users in the planning and development is essential
• Appropriate selection, design and implementation is vital for success
• Environmental and social benefits > direct benefits
