I think this question has not conveyed the desired solution sought. Looking for software or geological investigation to manage rainwater in the subsoil gives the impression that the question is seeking to know more about groundwater. Obviously rainwater is part of water cycle as precipitation. Rainwater harvesting is usually evaluated in-situ as the volume of water from the rainfall can be calculated and managed. However the evaluation of groundwater requires multiple approaches in which surface geophysical studies like vertical electrical Resistivity survey comes to mind very quickly.T his study requires the presence of an experienced Geologist or better still Geophysicist to generate reliable result as this is a professional approaches and not all comers affair.

Apart from Investigations as above,,Knowledge of water bearing strata/aquifer and their extent above the ground water table would helpful in quantifying rainwater recharge potential during rainy or post rainy season. Existing dry dug wells with appropriate filters may be taken on priority without much of geological investigations..
