Are you thinking about harvesting rainwater into a simple, effective dam to water your plants and animals? Perhaps establishing an ecosystem in a dry zone, or greening the desert? It's better to say "we got every drop", when it rains and you get to keep the water in the soil. Fixing our deserts will start with retention.

Disclaimer:
First, we're not experts, but forever scholars. I hope this helps you with some ideas. What we do is to find out about local laws, plan the best we can with the information at hand, and use whatever is available in terms of machines (not always an option). Plan - research - simplify!

We have a well, and a spring, but harvesting valuable, clean rainwater and storing it is still necessary.
By slowing down water flow, we avoid topsoil erosion and nutrient leaching, as well. A very simple and cost effective dam, miniscule by usual farm standards, can thousands of litres of water that can keep plants, animals and even us humans (if purified) alive. Done legally and safely, this can be a lifesaver.

This video is all about that first water, how much we go and from how little rain. There's hope for the future rains.

I hope that you too, are harvesting rain and collecting water in the right way. Water is valuable, and finite.
