OBJECTIVES:
• To determine the rainfall characteristics of the
area.
• To calculate the rainfall discharge.
• To find the rainwater potential and its relation
with ground water
• To calculate the runoff from different areas of the
colony according to land use and find out the
number of recharging structures needed for the
colony.
• To locate the different types of recharging
structures and propose a design prototype for
each zone and each land use.

REPORT ON RAIN WATER HARVESTING

We did a survey on Rainwater Harvesting we gave an awareness about how to

save water for the future generation also need them.

Rain water harvesting is a simple , economical and eco-friendly technique of

preserving every drop of water by guiding the rain water to fall in borewells ,
pits and wells through smll diameter pipes.
IMPORTANCE OF RAIN WATER HARVESTING:-
• Inadequate surface water to meet our rising demand.
• Excessive dependence on limited ground water
SOME TECHNIQUES OF RAIN WATER HARVESTING :-
• Recharge pit :- They are constructed for recharging a shallow aquifier.
These are constructed 1-2 m wide and upto 3m deep.
• Running hand pump :- The existing hand pumps may be used for
recharging the shallow aquifiers.
• Recharge trench :- The design of a recharge trench is similar to that of a
settle tank. Its capacity is less then its gross volume.
• Dug wells :- Existing dug wells may be utilized s recharge structure and
water should pass through a filter pit .
 CONCLUSION
The growing population and the rising demand for water have put a
great deal of pressure on the natural resources. Underground water
is depleting at a very fast rate and soon there will be shortage and
scarcity of water all over the globe. If artificial methods are adopted
then this problem can be solved. Rainwater harvesting will not only
ensure flood control but it has other benefits like ensuring a
continues supply of water, pollution control ete. As per the discharge
calculations for various intensities of floods we can conclude that
rainwater in itself is not capable of augmenting the groundwater
water table. So, we need to employ rainwater harvesting structures.
The effectiveness of rainwater harvesting system lies in its ability to
meet the site requirements and end use preferences. Though simple,
these systems are site specific and need to be detailed out before
implementation. With decrease in availability of water, rainwater
harvesting presents the best option for times to come. Recently, the
interest in RWH systems as an alternative water source has
increased, due to their economic and environmental advantages.
Indeed, these systems can provide a supplementary water supply in
urban areas when integrated with an existing conventional water
supply system, or the main water supply in rural areas affected by
water scarcity. In the context of climate change, the installation of
RWH tanks could represent a valuable adaptation measure against
the reduction of water availability.
