Factsheet: Rainwater Harvesting Solutions in Pakistan
Published on October 16, 2025
Scaling Rainwater Harvesting Solutions for Water-scarce Communities.
Pakistan is helping communities adopt rainwater harvesting and groundwater recharge techniques to improve water security, support farming and strengthen resilience to drought.
Rainwater harvesting captures and stores runoff for farming and household use, while recharge techniques help replenish underground water reserves. The project is developing a community-led plan and technical blueprint to expand these approaches in water-scarce regions. It combines locally adapted designs with support for local authorities and community participation in planning and management, including women and vulnerable groups, to improve water security and strengthen resilience to drought.
