Project On Rain Water Harvesting
HARVESTING
The harvesting of rain water simply involves the collection of water from
surfaces on which rain falls, and subsequently storing this water for later use.
Normally water is collected from the roofs of buildings and stored in
rainwater tanks.
It is the accumulation and deposition of rainwater for reuse on site.
The harvested water can also be used as drinking water, long term storage
and for other purposes such as ground water recharge.
ADVANTAGES
SUITABILITY
1. The gathered rain water can be used for agricultural purposes. The
environment may be helped to get rid of the tendency to drought.
2. The requirement of water for feeding the live stock can be met.
3. The ever increasing demand for water can be satisfied.
4. The quantity of the subterranean water can be increased.
5. Wastage of water flowing through drain, gutter, or any other water-course of
any type may be stopped.
6. Water-logging on roads and thoroughfares can be checked and localities can
be saved from being inundated.
7. The quantity of water can be raised and soil erosion can be checked.
SUGGESTIONS
For a small town we should try to harvest rain water from roof tops as it is less
costly. We should try it first in:-
1. Government buildings
2. Offices
3. Courts
4. Government bungalows
5. Public buildings
6. Public toilets
We than check the effectiveness and efficiency of this system and proceed
further for every household in town and try harvesting the surface runoff also.
This will further reduce the water logging problem of our town and also would
solve the problem of water supply in the town and nearby areas.
