RAIN WATER HARVESTING & WATER RECHARGE SYSTEM

Summary

There is sufficient evidence supporting the fact that climate change and variability are pervasive realities that are strongly impacting both human and natural systems, including conservation of edible orchids in Southern Highland of Tanzania. Rainwater harvesting (RWH) is one possible appropriate technological option to improve water supply and water recharge for restoration of the water to its nature.

Challenge

The challenges are the scarcity of water in an area of which came from climate change. More than 64512 in the project schools are affected by the drought. The community that are affected shall benefit from the solution including students as well the community surrounding the public institutions where the projects are intervened.

Solution

Getting water shall not depend on fetching water from the natural source where found its scarcity, instead water will be matched from building roofs such as Schools, Health centers and others such as community that shall be trained and practices from the water catchments of which after uses of that water, the remaining shall get recharged underground and later to get recycled for water restoration to its nature.

Long-Term Impact

It may include conservation of new area to enable other habitats and orchid species to migrate in response to climate change. In order to assess stress and mitigation for assisted migration, monitoring, research and scientific experiments can be applied over long duration of time . Such measures will help to avoid bias and allocation of species for unsustainable habitats including an area with abundant invasive species
