| Abstract: |
| Farmers in mountains and upland areas rely on rainwater to nourish their crops. However, rainfall levels vary greatly in the Philippines. Frequent water shortages make timing agricultural activities difficult. Farmers cannot plant throughout the year, resulting in smaller incomes.
Rainwater Harvesting uses Animal Built Embankments to create a pond, which serves to store rainwater. This water supply can be used for various purposes, such as crop irrigation.
Ponds are typically made using machines to reduce labor, however smallholder farmers with low incomes can use existing farm equipment and resources in order to harvest rainwater more cost-effectively |
