    Rain water harvesting involves collecting and storing rainwater from rooftops and surfaces. It helps conserve and augment groundwater supplies, reducing depletion of water tables. Methods include surface runoff collection in ponds and reservoirs, and rooftop collection systems involving gutters and filters that direct water into storage tanks or groundwater recharge. The benefits are increasing water self-sufficiency, lowering flooding risks, and improving groundwater quality through recharge. Proper rainwater harvesting can thus help ensure sustainable water resources for the future.

    Contents

    • Introduction
    • Objectives
    • What is rain water harvesting?
    • Necessity of rain water harvesting.
    • Methods of rain water harvesting.
    • Advantages of rain water harvesting.
    • Conclusion.
    2
    Introduction

    • Rain water harvesting is an outcome of awareness among the people regarding the
    water scarcity
    • Reutilization of waste water.
    • As rain water harvesting -neither energy-intensive nor labor-intensive
    • It can be a cost-effective alternative to other water-accruing methods.
    • With the water table falling rapidly, & concrete surfaces and landfill dumps taking
    the place of water bodies, RWH is the most reliable solution for augmenting
    groundwater level to attain self-sufficiency
    3
    Objectives

    • Increasing the availability of ground water during periods of requirement.


    • Preventing depletion of ground water reservoir in areas of over exploitation
    • Decreasing menace of flood on local and regional scale
    • Reducing pressure on storm drains in urban areas
    • Enhancing the quality of environment.
    4
    What is rain water harvesting?

    • It is the activity of direct collection of rain water


    • Rain water can be stored for direct use or can be recharged into the ground
    water aquifer

    5
    Necessity of rain water harvesting

    • To conserve & augment the storage of ground water


    • To reduce water table depletion
    • To improve the quality of ground water
    • To arrest sea water intrusion in coastal areas
    • To avoid flood & water stagnation in urban areas
    6
    Methods of Rainwater Harvesting

    Broadly there are two ways of harvesting rainwater


    • Surface runoff harvesting
    • Roof top rainwater harvesting

    7
    Surface runoff harvesting

    • Rainwater that is not captured directly, used by agriculture, or absorbed into the
    ground becomes surface water.
    • Surface water harvesting includes all systems that collect and conserve surface
    runoff after a rainstorm or in intermittent streams, rivers, or wetlands for storage in
    open ponds and reservoirs.
    • This can provide water for direct household use , irrigation, and livestock
    • Storing water in an aquifer conserves water better as it prevents evaporation
    8
    Rooftop rainwater harvesting

    • In rooftop harvesting, the roof becomes the catchments, and the rainwater
    is collected from the roof of the house/building.
    • It can either be stored in a tank or diverted to artificial recharge system.
    • This method is less expensive and very effective and if implemented
    properly helps in augmenting the groundwater level of the area.

    9
    Methods of Rooftop Rainwater Harvesting

    • Storage of Direct Use


    • Recharging groundwater aquifers
    • Recharging of bore wells
    • Recharge pits
    • Soak way or Recharge shafts
    • Recharging of dug wells
    • Recharge trenches
    10
    Components of the Rooftop Rainwater
    Harvesting - Storage of Direct Use
    • Catchments
    • Coarse mesh
    • Gutters
    • Transportation
    • First flush
    • Filter
    11
    Types of filters in practice

    • Sand Gravel Filter


    • Charcoal Filter
    • PVC –Pipe filter
    • Sponge Filter

    12
    Advantages of Rain Water Harvesting

    • Provides self-sufficiency to water supply


    • Reduces the cost for pumping of ground water
    • Reduces soil erosion & flooding in urban areas
    • Improves the quality of ground water through dilution when recharged
    • In desert, Rain water harvesting only relief
    13
    Conclusion

    • Conservation of water
    • Since we cannot produce energy, but we can save it by preventing wastage
    • Save water and protect our future
