One of the ways you can become self-sufficient and reduce your carbon footprint is by harvesting rainwater. By storing rainwater, you can pull through the driest months of the year. Many people opt for this method of water preservation for various reasons.
Rainwater harvesting is one of the solutions to the water crises that many people face. Many people walk long distances to collect water for their daily needs. Through rainwater harvesting, you can save your time, energy, and even money. This method of water preservation is pocket-friendly, useful, and beneficial in many ways.
All you need is a large-sized drum or barrel and a pipe. You can use the water collected for washing your car, gardening, or even for your household chores.
For people who need a lot of water, having a separate water tank for rainwater harvesting is a good idea. You can always leave it open during the rains so that you can collect the water.
Amongst the various rainwater conservation methods, this is considered as one of the traditional methods. People make artificial ponds not only to collect rainwater but also to control flooding.
If you are living in a residential community or an individual house, a recharge well is a good idea. These wells are similar to a borewell and can help to channel and to collect rainwater. The water is collected from rooftops, roads, paved surfaces, etc.
A rain garden consists of planted flowers, perennials, and native shrubs. These plants are generally placed in a slopy area. A rain garden will help to hold the water for some time. These gardens are situated in lawns, balconies, driveways, or even on the roof.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
