It is economically viable, socially compatible and environmentally friendly. Water harvesting has proven to be a robust solution to overcome or reduce water shortages all over the world. It is important to understand how to apply this practice in a sustainable and effective way to make full use of its potential in a world increasingly threatened by water scarcity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eHandbook of Water Harvesting and Conservation: Basic Concepts and Fundamentals\u003c\/i\u003e is the most comprehensive, up-to-date and applied handbook on water harvesting and conservation yet published. The book’s 30 chapters -- written by 84 outstanding international experts from approximately 20 selected countries faced by drought -- explore, critique and develop concepts and systems for water harvesting. The editors bring together many perspectives into a synthesis that is both academically based and practical in its potential applications.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eHandbook of
