  2. To beneficiate water quality in aquifers
  3. To conserve surface water runoff during monsoon

  7. To reduce demand on the municipal water supply
  8. Makes efficient use of a valuable resource

  10. Prevents the contamination of groundwater. Thus, rainwater harvesting is the need of the hour
