Domestic rainwater harvesting to improve water supply in rural South Africa
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored challenges to sustainable implementation of domestic rainwater harvesting and proposed some interventions which the South African government could implement to overcome them, which is in fact illegal by strict application of water legislations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rainwater harvesting to enhance water productivity of rainfed agriculture in the semi-arid Zimbabwe
TL;DR: In this article, the impact of rainwater harvesting on the crop yield gap and the Transpirational Water Productivity (WPT) was investigated in six districts of the semi-arid Zimbabwe, where three parameters (water source, primary use and storage capacity) can help differentiate storage-type RWH systems from conventional dams.

TL;DR: This study suggests that through appropriate land use management, it would be possible to reduce the impacts of natural hazards to a large degree and highlights the value of intact and well-managed landscapes and their role in reducing the probabilities and impacts of extreme climate events.
Journal ArticleDOI
