Rainwater Savings Potential of Prototypical Green Roofs @ UC Berkeley
Green roofs are vegetated roof installations comprised of various tiers that provide plant support, drainage, and waterproofing. Extensive green roofs may provide environmental and economic benefits for UC Berkeley and help achieve UC system-wide and campus-specific environmental standards and goals, particularly through water conservation. To assess their potential, this study compares the rainwater savings of prototypical modular extensive green roofs with that of a regular gravel roof. The measures used for comparison are water detention and retention. Simulated precipitation patterns modeled after a local 25-year rainfall event were applied to roof treatments, and runoff rates and volumes were collected and analyzed.

IRJET- Implementation of Rainwater Harvesting System in Dilkap College Ca...IRJET Journal
This document describes a study that implemented a rainwater harvesting system at the Dilkap College campus in India. The system collects rainwater from rooftops and open spaces using gutters and downpipes. The water is filtered using a dual intensity filter before entering a stormwater drain with velocity control. It then percolates through a ring well system into the underground water table, recharging an existing bore well. The system was designed to meet the campus' daily water demand of over 1,000 cubic meters and make use of the area's high annual rainfall to provide a sustainable water source and conserve groundwater resources. Soil testing was conducted to determine appropriate filter media and the ability of the local soil to infiltrate water for
