This latest UNEP report systematically synthesises the close links between human well-being and ecosystem services through a number of rainwater harvesting cases. The cases are organised into thematic chapters addressing rainwater harvesting systems, their roles and their impacts.

This report systematically synthesises the close links between human well-being and ecosystem services through a number of rainwater harvesting cases. The cases are organised into thematic chapters addressing rainwater harvesting systems, their roles and their impacts. The chapter themes were selected based on the economic importance of the specific themes for human well-being and contain examples in which rainwater harvesting has, and may continue to play, an integral role. The cases were selected to represent a wide variety of social, economic and hydro-climatic conditions. They exemplify a diverse set of rainwater harvesting technologies, and uses of the collected water. The report synthesises the positive and negative impacts
of the rainwater harvesting cases, using a pre-defined set of indicators of ecosystems impacts and human well-being. The outcomes are interpreted in a number of key messages and recommendations.
