Abstract :
Water scarcity remains a critical global
challenge, prompting the exploration of innovative
strategies for sustainable water management. This study
investigates the dual potential of rainwater harvesting
and ocean water purification as solutions to address water
scarcity. Through a comprehensive review of literature
and case studies, this research examines the efficacy,
challenges, and implementation strategies of both
approaches across diverse contexts. The findings
underscore the capacity of rainwater harvesting to
augment local water supplies and reduce dependence on
traditional sources, while ocean water purification offers
a promising avenue for expanding freshwater resources.
Key factors influencing success, including technological
advancements, policy support, and community
engagement, are identified and analyzed. Moreover, the
study explores the environmental, economic, and social
implications of these approaches, emphasizing their role
in water conservation, climate change resilience, and
sustainable development. Practical recommendations are
offered for policymakers, practitioners, and communities
to leverage rainwater harvesting and ocean water
purification as complementary strategies for addressing
water scarcity and advancing water security globally.
