This study sought to explore technologies and sustainable techniques for rain-water harvesting as its main aim. Various societies over time have used their indigenous methods, and this study sought to explore through case surveys as its design in both developed and developing societies on methods both indigenous and modern techniques that have been used. Indigenous systems have been used in Nigeria, Ghana Malta among other countries. In developed societies modern techniques have been used in the United Kingdom over a period of three decades. Furthermention is this study on Livestock Water Productivity in India and how it can be relevant to Sub-Saharan countries mainly in arid and semi-arid regions (ASAL) on rain water harvesting and use. The strategies, lessons and best practices using a sustainable resources theory and its practice as well as analysis have been used. Various lessons have been given for adoption and implementation in sustainable living and learning for developing societies as Kenya.

As early as 1930, the Colonial Government made efforts to arrest the situation through legislative measures that would compel residents in the region to conserve the environment. As a strategy to combat environmental degradation in the area, the Colonial Government established Maragoli Hills forest through a legal notice number 266 of the Kenya gazette supplement number 28 of 1957. Other initiatives by Colonial government to conserve environment in South Vihiga hills by planting a forest covering Maragoli Hills and extending to Bunyore Hills between 1957 and 1964 were resisted by residents who uprooted most of the tress (Mwangi, 2003 ) . In 1964, the Colonial Government declared 1318.8 acres of Maragoli Hills Central Government Forest through the Legal Notice number 174, resistance by local communities notwithstanding. Because the local communities had not accepted the establishment of the forest, they continued to destroy the forest and sabotaged any government reforestation efforts. The last sections of the forest was cleared in 1996 (Nekesa, 2003 ) . Further efforts to rehabilitate the forest by Vihiga County Government have also been frustrated by members of the community who uproot the planted seedlings ( Ochanda, 2014 ) .
