    This document discusses rainwater harvesting. It begins by outlining the average daily water needs for various household activities, totaling 135 liters per capita daily. It then defines rainwater harvesting as collecting, storing, and purifying rainwater that falls on roofs. The benefits of rainwater harvesting include addressing issues like scarce or contaminated groundwater, high water and electricity prices, and unreliable water supplies. The key components of a rainwater harvesting system are the catchment area, conveyance methods, storage tanks, purification techniques, and distribution pipes. Rainwater can also be used to recharge groundwater by directing it into recharge pits, trenches, or other structures. Larger, communal rainwater harvesting systems have greater potential

    What is RWH
    • It is simply collecting, storing and purifying
    the naturally soft and pure water that falls
    upon roofs
    • May be utilized for both potable and non
    potable requirements
    – Drinking, bathing and cooking – potable
    – Toilet flushing
    – Laundry (reduces detergent and bleach)
    – Irrigation of lawns
    – Livestock and animals

    Why to Harvest Rain
    • Groundwater is scarce
    • GW is contaminated
    • Terrain is mountaineous
    • Aquifer at the risk of salt water intrusion
    • Electricity and water prices are rising
    • Water is too hard (due to minerals)
    • Water supply is un-relaiable
    • Water conservation

    Water Quality 5
    How to Harvest rain –
    6 basis components
    • Catchment – roof surface to collect
    • Conveyance – channels and pipes to transfer
    • Roof washing: first flush is not suitable
    • Storage: large tanks to store safety – insects
    restriction
    • Purification: filtration of leaves , UV etc
    • Distribution: system to take water from
    storage to required point
