Rainwater harvesting has been practiced for more than 4,000 years, and in most countries, it is becoming a considerable alternative for water supply, because of the shortage and limitations of other conventional water resources. It offers an ideal solution in areas where there is significant rainfall but an absence of any kind of conventional, centralized water supply system, and also in areas where there is a lack of good quality in the fresh surface water or ground-water [3].
