While stormwater harvesting offers numerous benefits, it is not without challenges. One common issue is the potential for pollutants, such as heavy metals or chemicals, in the collected runoff. Addressing water quality concerns requires effective filtration and treatment systems.
Additionally, designing infrastructure to handle variable and unpredictable stormwater volumes poses engineering challenges. Maintenance is crucial to prevent system clogging and ensure longevity. Implementation costs and the need for public awareness also present challenges.
