Rain Water Harvesting

The study examined farmers’ perceptions and adoption of rain water harvesting technology in Raya-Alamata district of Ethiopia. Four kebeles were purposively selected from the 13 homogeneous kebeles (small administrative unit). During the survey, primary data were collected through a semistructured questionnaire distributed to 270 systematically selected sample respondents and through interview with key informants, development agents, and local administrators. Secondary data were retrieved from district agriculture office, books, and published scientific materials. Descriptive statistics, simple narration, and a probit regression model were used to analyze the data. The results showed that the farmers perceived rain water harvesting as a motivational way of creating sense of belongingness. They think that it increases crop production, increases forest regeneration, and encourages forage production. The probit regression models revealed that determinants of farmers’ adoption of rainwater harvesting technology were significantly and positively affected by education, farm size, and off-farm income. The effect of distance to the farmland and farmers training center (FTC) was also significant but negative. Men farmers had higher level of adoption compared to their counterparts. Productive and reproductive roles constrain women household farmers from using the technologies. Based on the finding, the policy implications were as follows: dissemination of information related to rain water harvesting technology should be imperative through formal and informal education. Alternative sources of water need also be promoted. More importantly, female-headed households need to be encouraged to be community leaders to foster the adoption of rain water harvesting technology.

According to the latest government reports, India is facing evident shortfall of water in various parts of the country, and Himalayan states are likely to suffer the impacts of climate change related to water more than non-Himalayan states. Water resources are expected to affect Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the country, and future projections are far more upsetting. In this light, sustainable and adaptive strategies such as integrated water resources management, nature-based solutions have been promoted globally for sustainable and integrated urban water management. The paper inquires into functions of respective institutions and their possibilities to adopt possible nature-based solutions such as rain water harvesting in response to water insecurity and adaptation in times of climate change. Taking case of Haldwani city, the paper assesses water demand and supply gaps, the existing water institutions, their scope of work and water management mechanism. Further, the scope of adoption of possible nature-based solution is explored by the purview of their work in water management. This was derived through an in-depth literature review, stakeholder consultations as key informant interviews, and participatory mapping. Haldwani has experienced severe water scarcity due to depletion of groundwater, decline in the discharge rate of river Gaula, and drying of springs in and around the city. Various agencies manage the existing water resources in isolation and mismanagement of water is one of the prominent problems in the city. The paper delves into the nuances of various strategic interventions, and the respective institutional capability to undertake the same. While most of the strategies prevalent at international level are yet to be adopted in context of Himalayan cities, a key finding is that rain water harvesting system can be easily taken up as a nature based solution by each of the institutions since it also falls in their scope of work as well as to meet the city’s present and future water challenges.

Jakarta sebagai kota metropolitan memiliki masalah yang kompleks yang berhubungan dengan masalah krisis sumber daya air. Teknik pemanenan air hujan telah menjadi bagian penting dalam agenda pengelolaan sumber daya air dalam rangka untuk mengatasi ketimpangan air pada kurangnya hujan dan kekeringan (kekurangan air), pasokan air bersih masyarakat dunia, serta penanggulangan banjir dan kekeringan. Tulisan ini mencoba untuk menganalisis induksi deskriptif terkait dengan tema teknik pemanenan air hujan, dimulai dengan deskripsi dari pandangan terbuka dan data yang dikumpulkan dari literatur yang berkaitan dengan tema dan isu-isu sumber daya air di wilayah Jakarta, kemudian dilakukan analisis lebih lanjut dan kesimpulan yang diambil adalah terkait dengan aspek konservasi air dan pengelolaan sumber daya air krisis di DKI Jakarta.Jakarta as a metropolitan city has many complex issues related to the problem of waterresources crisis. Rain water harvesting techniques has become an important part in the global environmental agenda water resources management in order to overcome inequality of water in the rainy and dry (lack of water), lack of clean water supply community world, as well as flood prevention and drought. This paper tries to analyze the descriptive induction related to the theme of rain water harvesting techniques, starting with a description of the open view and the data was collected from literatures relating to the themes and issues of water resources in Jakarta area , then conducted further analysis and conclusions drawn are associated with the aspect of water conservation and water resources crisis management in DKI Jakarta.
