The rainwater harvesting from open spaces around the buildings in a city is done by  constructing percolation pits covered with concrete slabs having holes in them, and connected  to a recharge well through a pipe. The rainwater falling in the open spaces around buildings  goes into the percolation pit through the holes in its concrete slab cover. After filtration in  percolation pit, rainwater enters the recharge well through the outlet pipe and gradually seeps  into the soil.
