> **How are clouds formed?** > > **Why are clouds white?** > Clouds are white because they reflect the light of the sun. Light is made up of colors of the rainbow and when you add them all together you get white. The sun appears a yellow color because it sends out more yellow light than any other color. Clouds reflect all the colors the exact same amount so they look white.

 * 1) All air contains water, but near the ground it is usually in the form of an invisible gas called water vapor. When warm air rises, it expands and cools. Cool air can't hold as much water vapor as warm air, so some of the vapor condenses onto tiny pieces of dust that are floating in the air and forms a tiny droplet around each dust particle. When billions of these droplets come together they become a visible cloud.

Advantages in urban areas Rainwater harvesting can ensure an independent water supply during water restrictions, though somewhat dependent on end-use and maintenance, is usually of acceptable quality for household needs and renewable at acceptable volumes, despite climate change forecast.It produces beneficial effects by reducing peak storm water runoff and processing costs. In municipalities with systems, reducing storm runoff is especially important, because excess runoff during heavy storms leads to the discharge of raw sewage when treatment plant capacity cannot handle the combined flow. Rainwater harvesting systems are simple to install and operate. Running costs are negligible, and they provide water at the point of consumption. Rainwater harvesting in urban communities has been made possible by various companies. Their tanks provide an attractive yet effective solution to rainwater catchment. Sometimes a practice is adopted of directing collected rainwater deep inside the ground through pipes or shafts. Such a practice will carry surface pollutants to the ground water and thus pollute it. The best practice is to store water in ponds, lakes and other unlined surface reservoirs so that the water gets filtered through before entering the ground. [[|__edit__]]

It is important that the system is sized to meet the water demand throughout the dry season. In general, the size of the storage tank should be big enough to meet the daily water requirement throughout the dry season. In addition, the size of the catchment area or roof should be large enough to fill the tank. [[|__edit__]]

**The Path to Water Abundance** Rainwater is a precious resource. Yet many buildings and properties are designed to remove water as quickly as possible. It's time to change our thinking to welcome rainwater and become stewards for water.

We drain rivers, streams and groundwater to meet our growing demand for water. It's time to shift that pattern to reducing our consumption and living within local water supply needs.

It's time to take the next bold step and go beyond sustainability and begin to regenerate our ecosystems. We can do this by becoming stewards of water, learning about rainwater catchment and starting to replenish our groundwater.
