Abstract

This study examines the status of rainwater harvesting in Palamu district, Jharkhand, with a special focus on its effectiveness and challenges. Through a combination of literature review, field surveys, and stakeholder interviews, the study analyses the existing rainwater harvesting techniques, identifies the factors that affect their adoption, and suggests suitable measures for their promotion. The findings reveal that rainwater harvesting is a crucial technique for sustainable water management in Palamu district due to the region's erratic rainfall patterns and poor water management practices. However, the adoption of rainwater harvesting techniques is hindered by several factors, including low awareness, lack of government support, and inadequate infrastructure. The study suggests various measures, such as awareness campaigns, capacity building, and incentivization, to promote the adoption of rainwater harvesting in the region. The findings of this study can guide policymakers, researchers, and practitioners in developing sustainable water management solutions for Jharkhand.
