*These are small lakes, which are confined to small local area.

*In low lying areas, especially hilly areas where water rushes
out from one region to other, mud supplements get deposited
in these areas so as to utilize it for cultivation. These are very
useful in preventing soil erosion.

of people actively can lead to conservation of rain water, thereby replenishing our water
resources.
Classification of Rainwater Harvesting methods:
Rainwater harvesting method is used for collecting and storing the rainwater from
rooftops and land surface to provide water for agriculture, industries and domestic use.
Once such method is to collect the maximum rain water possible and store in a proper
manner so as to avoid contamination from human, animals or the environment, prevent
algal growth and mosquito breeding.
A second method could be collecting rainwater from roof catchment system and
land surface catchment and directed to collection devices through conveyance or
conduits. The collection devices are cylindrical ferrocement tanks or battery tanks (i.e.,
interconnected tanks) made of pottery, ferrocement or polythene. The water stored in
these tanks may be used after the monsoon season.
A third method of rain water harvesting can be collecting the rainwater from tops
and directing it into the ground to recharge wells. Thus, the underground water table
rises which can be utilized for various purposes.
Case Study of Rainwater harvesting in India :
Rainwater harvesting is one of the most important and economical tools of water
conservation at a time of rapid dwindling of fresh water resources.
The Wipro technologies campus located in Electronic city, Hosur Road,
Karnataka, hosts about 7,000 employees and uses 500,00 liters of water every day. The
main source of water for this campus is distant borewells and tankers.
Several measures to implement the rainwater harvesting have been undertaken.
They include

resources.
What is the difference between an EIA and EIS (Environmental Impact Statement)?
Ans: An EIA can be both the document and decision-making process that provides a
systematic, reproducible and interdisciplinary evaluation of the potential effects of a
proposed action and its practical alternatives on the physical, biological, cultural, and
socioeconomic attributes of a particular geographic area. In the United States, though,
the actual document, is referred to as the Environmental Impact Statement or EIS.

What is Scoping?
Ans Once a decision is made that EIA is necessary for a proposed action, a team is
assembled and the formal scoping process begins. This process usually includes
consultation within and between governmental departments and public and government
participation in one or more scoping meetings. The purpose of scoping is to identify
reasonable alternatives and issues and concerns related to the proposed action; provide

early identification or areas (including data gathering and research) that will need
attention for evaluation of their significance; and facilitate consideration of alternatives
and mitigation. Scoping is an ongoing process, but it is most effective and useful when
begun early in the planning process.
