• construct a trench around the plot.
  the rain water flowing from the roof must flow to the trench through a pipe.
  and the most important is the trench must not be sidelined with cement or stones . these affect the rate of absonrption of water. and last but not the least tthe trench must be covered by any mean to avoid to make it the breeding site for mosquitoes.
  u should make the slopes such that all the rain water in plot should go that trench.
  the trench can be 0.5m to 1m
  dont forget to extend it to near the borewell for better result.
  This is the cheapest method.
  
  another method is to construct a small tank of rain water
  flowing from the roof . the tank should have perforated wall .
  the tank must be near the borewell (about 1m) and built 1 to 1.5m. deep.
  its little bit costly .

  summing up
  just imagine to make the property like a songe
  that soaks up all of the rainfall
  
  dont worry if the dams leak the water goes into the ground and if you cant see it does not mean that you havent got it
  sandy soil works like a dam and soaks up water for months ,which will benefit your borehole
  
  as long as you change the direction of the water instead of overground into creases and off the property ,it now must go into your channels in to hole and into the ground
  use existing water flows for your cannals
  
  and if there is a road near by dig a cannal to the side of the road and steal the water that runs of the road (that is always a lot ,if you pick a good spot )
  
  just remember the hardest part of environmental design is the beginning ,the digging ,the shaping of the land ,the form ,but after that you have created good roads ,good places for plants
  and a good design and it gets easier as you go along
  this will take you a year to acomplish get the whole shool involved ,and plant vegeatble gardens and fruit trees soi that everybody is motivated ,also make nice places to sit ,to have meetings ,I always build a classroom in my gardens and i have made a lot ,also a coffee bar and a pleasant place to hang out ,so that everybody will agree that it was a good idea ,
  good luck
