Rainwater Harvesting Solution

By studying the pattern of rain fall in rural and urban India, intensity of rainfall, type of houses, pipeline used for rainwater outlets, re utilization, recharging of ground water and Tube well etc.

In the past decade we have witnessed phenomenal changes in global weather patterns. The unpredictable and erratic weather patterns have resulted in torrential down pours and rainfalls of very high intensity.

Advantages

•By storing of water in the sump & reutilizing, around 35% of the annual requirement of a household can be met.
Thereby a considerable amount on the water and power bill can be saved.

•Dependency on water tankers, ground water and corporation water can also be much reduced

•Recharge of Groundwater, replenishes the deeper layers of the earth’s crust which in turn insulates the earth from rise in temperature, reducing global warming

•Reduces loss of top soil, surface runoff , thereby avoids silting of ponds and lakes

•Reduces hardness , salinity and TDS contents in the bore well

•Seawater ingression can be checked in costal line

•All materials used in this Technology are eco-friendly and recyclable

•Reduces significant carbon foot prints

Technology works on the Gravitational Principle Reducing the Pumping of water from distant places , deeper depths & Movement of Water Tankers

•Checks overexploitation of groundwater source.

•Prevents water logging in low lying areas.

Do's and Don’ts

Harvested rainwater is used for direct usage or for recharging aquifers. It is most important to ensure that the rainwater caught is free from pollutants. Following precautionary measures should be taken while harvesting rainwater:-

1Roof or terraces uses for harvesting should be clean, free from dust, algal plants etc.

2Roof should not be painted since most paints contain toxic substances and may peel off.

3Do not store chemicals, rusting iron, manure or detergent on the roof.

4Nesting of birds on the roof should be prevented.

5Terraces should not be used for toilets either by human beings or by pets.

6Provide gratings at mouth of each drainpipe on terraces to trap leaves debris and floating materials.

7Provision of first rain separator should be made to flush off first rains.

8Do not use polluted water to recharge ground water.

9Ground water should only be recharged by rainwater.

10Before recharging, suitable arrangements of filtering should be provided.

11Filter media should be cleaned before every monsoon season.

12During rainy season, the whole system (roof catchment, pipes, screens, first flush, filters, tanks) should be checked before and after each rain and preferably cleaned after every dry period exceeding a month.

13 At the end of the dry season and just before the first shower of rain is anticipated, the storage tank should be scrubbed and flushed off all sediments and debris.
