    Rainwater harvesting is a traditional technique practiced in India for centuries that involves collecting rainwater in natural reservoirs or constructed tanks. It helps achieve water self-sufficiency, raises groundwater levels, improves groundwater quality, and reduces soil erosion. Rainwater harvesting is a low-cost and easy to maintain system that is particularly useful for buildings, homes, industries, and areas facing water shortages, as it significantly reduces dependency on tanker water supplies. The basic scheme involves channeling rainwater from rooftops and grounds into percolation pits to recharge bore wells and ring wells and make the water available throughout the year.

    Expert lecture on Water resource management

    Student:- 53
    Semester:- 4th & 6th
    Taken by:- Prof. Ankita Parmar

    Topic:- Rain Water Harvesting


     Introduction:-
     About Rain Water Harvesting (RWH)

    It’s a simple, indigenous technology being practiced in India for centuries. The concept
    involves collection of rain water, either in natural reservoirs (aquifers) and / or in
    constructed tanks. RWH helps in achieving self-sufficiency in water, raises ground water
    level, Improves ground water quality and helps to reduce soil erosion. It is a less
    expensive and easy to maintain system
     Why Rain Water Harvesting?
    ❖ India faces a turbulent water future. Unless current inefficient water
    management practices are changed, India will face a severe water crisis in
    coming decades. It will not have adequate self funding to build new infrastructure
    nor will the sufficient water be available for its growing Economy and rising
    population (As per World Bank Report 2006).

    ❖ Rain Water Harvesting can be implemented at minimal cost for all


    constructions by adopting RWH system in the planning and initial stages of
    construction.

    ❖ Industries and factories can certainly implement RWH system, since large roof
    areas are usually available for roof top rainwater harvesting.

    ❖ For buildings/commercial places facing acute water shortage and meeting the
    water demand through tanker water; RWH system substantially reduces
    dependency on tanker water and also gives financial benefits

     Basic Scheme of RWH


    ❖ Water flowing from the terrace area of the structure, surface area of the ground in the rainy season shall
    be channelized through the pipes and storm water drain and collected in the percolation pits.

    ❖ Through the percolation pits the existing and proposed bore wells / ring wells will get recharged and the
    water can be available for use throughout the year.

     Have you ever imagined a day without water?


     No, we have not and it is hard to imagine. We all use water for different kinds of day to day activities, such
    as cleaning, washing, bathing, cooking, drinking and other domestic and industrial uses.

     Water is a precious, essential and an abiotic component of the ecosystem. Today we all are heading toward
    the scarcity of water, and this is mainly because of the lack of water conservation and pollution of water b
    odies. So, let us not waste a drop of water and start conserving water for further use.

     There are different methods used for conserving water, here let us learn about the rainwater harvesting
    system.
