  WATER HARVESTING AND CONSERVATION In many farming areas, readily available water is in short supply. Although the total annual rainfall in an area may be enough to sustain farm needs, it is often distributed very unevenly so that long dry periods are interspersed with periods of intense rainfall. In many cases, a crop is unable to use a high proportion of this water, as much of it is lost through run off or leaching. This may also cause soil erosion and loss of soil nutrients. Principles of Water Harvesting and Conservation: In deciding which techniques to use to make more efficient use of the available water, it is important to consider how crops receive or lose water. Crops receive water through rainfall, irrigation and stored soil water. They lose it through run off, evaporation and drainage. Some key principles on effective water management are: Use rainwater effectively: In many climates, rainfall is distributed unevenly in intense downpours that cannot be readily used by a crop
