Phases of Water Harvesting Systems
The historical evolution of water harvesting systems is described. Water security has been defined in terms of (i) the capacity of a population to safeguard sustainable access to adequate quantities of acceptable quality water for sustaining livelihoods, human well‐being, and socioeconomic development; (ii) ensuring protection against water‐borne pollution and water‐related disasters; and (iii) preserving ecosystems in a climate of peace and political stability. Although different methods have been developed and applied to artificially recharge groundwater in various parts of the world, if such structures are not maintained properly, water quality may be a problem and harvesting can provide very limited good‐quality water. Modern indirect recharge enhancement may work for shallow groundwater circulation, but deeper systems require sophisticated injection and alternative sources of high‐quality water.
