        abstract = {Summer water scarcity poses a serious difficulty in Yedenipani Village, especially in Ward No. 1, where borewell productivity is low (<10 LPM) and groundwater levels are falling due to over-extraction. The optimization of rooftop rainwater harvesting (RWH) systems as a sustainable way to replenish home borewells is investigated in this study. The study intends to build recharge structures without storage tanks for 50 homes, taking into account the unique hydrogeological features of the area, such as the laterite soil properties 

To determine the recharge potential, the methodology uses population data, soil data from GSDA, and data analysis from groundwater prospect maps. The study assesses the effectiveness and viability of putting RWH systems in place for sustainable groundwater management, taking into account an average of 615 mm of rainfall per year. This study emphasizes the potential of community-based solutions to enhance water security in rural regions and offers a framework for optimizing RWH systems to handle seasonal water shortages.},
