NooruddinJungiKhadri S M, Sagar Hanmant Deshmukh

Abstract


This research paper explores the implementation of rainwater harvesting systems along highways as a sustainable solution to water scarcity and environmental challenges. With a focus on enhancing water conservation practices, the study investigates the feasibility and potential benefits of integrating rainwater harvesting infrastructure within highway landscapes. The research examines engineering specifications, site selection criteria, and economic considerations, aiming to contribute valuable insights into the viability and impact of such initiatives. By addressing both the environmental and socio-economic aspects, this research aims to promote the adoption of rainwater harvesting along highways as a practical approach towards achieving a more sustainable and resilient infrastructure.
