![]() Rainwater harvesting, the cheapest alternative to the traditional water sources ( Zavala et al., 2018), is a simple process to preserve rainwater for further use by collecting, storing, and purifying if needed ( Mays et al., 2013). The study concluded that a detailed ‘Rainwater Harvesting and Management Plan’ supporting the adoption and promotion of community-led models to mitigate RWH-related challenges in the urban slums and integrating multi-storied buildings to harvest rainwater for the poor neighbourhoods could ensure efficient and equitable rainwater management for the urban poor. Building on the experiences of other countries, the study assessed the feasibility of RWH for the urban poor to meet their sanitation and hygiene needs under the changing climate. RWH was, however, widely practised in the urban, peri-urban, and rural parts of the country by utilising different catchment structures. Although the past plans recognised RWH, the study found that these did not emphasise the implementation process nor offer provisions for the urban poor. This study reviewed the recently-executed national plans to assess the RWH provisions, explored literature to map RWH practice, showed the alignment between the plans and the practices, and assessed the provision of RWH in the currently-implemented plans, with a particular focus on the urban poor. In Bangladesh, the full potential of rainwater use, especially for the urban poor, has not been explored. Mentioned here, lives of people in Narail turned miserable due to ongoing moderate cold-wave for the last five days.Under the climate crisis and rapid urbanisation, rainwater harvesting (RWH) is more pertinent than ever.
