Abstract :Water is one of the most important elements for living things. Water, which forms the biological structures of living things, is a vital life support that ensures the growth and development of living things since they came into the world. While most of the world is covered with water, the seas form salty seas. However, only 2.6% of the world's water reserves are composed of fresh water. Drops falling from the clouds in the form of water droplets are called rain. Rain makes the water cycle happen and clears the water on earth. Rain water which raises sea levels is also beneficial for forests, plants and people. Rain water can be stored and used to meet drinking and utility water and agricultural irrigation needs.Keywords : Water, Rain Water, Use of Rain Water
