Popis: | Sylhet division is the major tea-producing region of Bangladesh. This study was conducted to explore the potential of rainwater harvesting by a designed model to fulfill the water requirement of the Lackatoorah tea garden during the dry season. Data were collected from both primary and secondary sources, and remote sensing data were analyzed using ArcGIS 10.7 to assess soil texture and slope. Four potential sites of (1.5 m ×1m) area were identified to estimate the volume of runoff water in the study. Four tanks with a capacity of 4000 liters were placed to store water as a reservoir for four sites. This study reveals that the study area received maximum average rainfall during June (742.7 mm - 839.2 mm) and July (667.7 mm - 787.2 mm) and the months from October-March received minimum rainfall ( |
