A class, three classrooms and rainwater collection is 5,000 dollars.

He enumerated coping strategies, such as polyculture, rainwater harvesting, migration, and afforestation.

Rainwater collected from the roofs of houses and local institutions can make an important contribution to the availability of drinking water.

Rainwater harvesting is also widely employed as a relatively low cost option, both for household use and for small scale irrigation.

Another important point of these sand banks is that when it rains, the rainwater soaks down into the soil. So, it's gone.

It had taken years of careful planning and infrastructural works to alleviate the flood situation and channel as much rainwater as possible into reservoirs.

Some Parties considered the following measures establishment of seed banks and identifying least cost measures, such as switching crops and or cultivars, soil improvement, and rainwater management.

Specific support will focus on community management of local water resources, including rainwater harvesting (for use by households and schools, and groundwater recharge), micro watershed management and operational research.

Water scarcity could be addressed through modern water conservation techniques in agriculture (such as drip irrigation, on farm water management, lining of watercourses and canals, etc.) and through more traditional techniques (such as rainwater harvesting).

Living standards could be improved significantly and rapidly through low cost targeted investments in malaria control, school feeding programs, rainwater harvesting for drinking water, mobile health clinics, and boreholes for livestock and irrigation in appropriate locations.

He noted that experts focused their work on cotton and cattle ranching, carried out guided discussions with stakeholders, and highlighted the importance of restoring and improving soil fertility, increasing collection of rainwater, strengthening capacities with field demonstrations, and improving irrigation efficiency.
