Abstract

Water harvesting systems have been increasingly recognised as a sustainable solution for managing water resources in arid and semi-arid regions. No empirical results are provided; instead, key insights will be drawn from existing literature and case studies. The implementation of water harvesting systems can contribute significantly to malaria prevention strategies, particularly in resource-limited settings like Ghana. Communities and policymakers should prioritise the integration of sustainable water harvesting practices as part of comprehensive malaria control initiatives.
