What term refers to the collection of rainwater?

• A. Rainwater harvesting
• B. Reservoir
• C. Quadrat
• D. Remote sensing

Answer: (A)

Rainwater harvesting is the term for collecting rainwater. It involves capturing rain that falls on roofs or other catchment surfaces and storing it in tanks, cisterns, or other containers for later use, such as irrigation or domestic supply. This practice helps conserve freshwater and reduce runoff. A reservoir is simply a large body of stored water, not specifically the act of collecting rainfall. A quadrat is a small defined area used for ecological sampling, and remote sensing is about observing the land from air or space, not collecting rainwater.
