Rainwater harvesting in arid and semi-arid lands of Africa: challenges and opportunities by Etienne Umukiza, Romain Ntole, Sylvester R. Chikavumbwa, Erion Bwambale, Davis Sibale, Zechariah Jeremaih, Ciro Apollonio, Andrea Petroselli

“…Results and conclusions: Based on the findings on benefits and challenges of water harvesting in arid and semi-arid lands of Africa, the present study recommends that policymakers should invest in mass education to adopt rainwater harvesting as complement to traditional water sources, and engage experts to comprehensively design infrastructure for rainwater harvesting using necessary techniques that will optimise collection and storage. To make progress, further research is needed to identify potential zones for runoff harvesting, and rainwater harvesting should be integrated with the much-needed green revolution and climate change adaptations for land reclamation.…”
