Water sustainability at Nandideepa apartments.pdfbiometrust
Nandi Deepa Apartment complex faced acute water shortages for nearly a decade as it did not receive water from the municipal supply. A new residents' association implemented a water management plan that included reviving existing borewells and an open well, installing a water treatment plant, implementing rainwater harvesting and groundwater recharging. These measures reduced their reliance on water tankers, cutting annual water costs from Rs. 14-16 lakhs to potential savings of Rs. 11.82 lakhs annually. Residents are now recovering the capital costs of water sustainability measures within two years and working to further improve the water supply.
Rainwater harvesting best practices in Vidyaranyapura.pdfbiometrust
The document summarizes rainwater harvesting best practices in Vidyaranyapura, Bengaluru. It describes the rainwater harvesting systems implemented by two residents, Mr. Raghuram Giridhar and Mr. Sham Prasad. Both harvest rooftop rainwater through storage sumps and recharge their open wells and borewell to meet their household water needs in a sustainable and cost-effective manner. Their systems help reduce dependence on piped water and have environmental benefits.

Water Management at Sai Poorna Paradise Apartments.pdfbiometrust
Sai Poorna Paradise Apartments in Bengaluru implemented various water management initiatives to reduce their reliance on water tankers as their main water source. These included rainwater harvesting which collects over 10,000 kilolitres of rainwater annually, recharging borewells and excavating recharge wells. As a result, tanker usage reduced from 11 to 2 tankers monthly, lowering expenses from Rs. 18-20 lakhs to below one lakh rupees. Individual household metering further reduced overall water demand by 50% and wastewater treatment costs.

Rainwater harvesting (RWH) can go a long way in solving water crises. Wipro Cares, in partnership with Biome, embarked on a project to implement rooftop RWH and improve the water infrastructure in seven government schools in this area. One such is Marsur school.
This document attempts to understand the Halanayakanahalli Kere and the cascading lake system that it is part of, its current state and its effects on the environment.
This document attempts to understand the cascading lake system around Saul Kere, its current state, its biodiversity, and its influence on the water system of Bengaluru.
1. The document summarizes various water management projects in Bengaluru that aim to restore and recharge groundwater levels through sustainable practices.
2. These projects include reviving lakes like Jakkur Lake through treatment facilities, community-based initiatives like Rainbow Drive that implement rainwater harvesting and wastewater recycling, and self-sufficient buildings like The Abode and Classic Orchards that adopt rooftop harvesting and closed-loop water systems.
3. A key aspect across these projects is establishing closed-loop water systems where water intake is given back to ensure sustainability, as well as community participation for successful long-term management of resources.
A borewell is dug by installing a casing pipe from the surface down to the hard rock layer. A submersible pump is placed below the lowest water-bearing fracture to pump water up through the delivery pipe. Regular inspection and maintenance of borewells is important, including metering water usage. If a borewell runs dry, options include camera inspection, hydrofracturing to increase water flow, or longer term groundwater recharge solutions.
Borewells are man-made wells dug deep into the ground to extract water from confined aquifers located underground. They involve drilling deep holes that tap into fractured rock layers where water has accumulated over many years. Borewells have become the most common source of water in urban India, with over 30 million constructed. They initially replaced traditional open wells in the 1970s when new drilling technology arrived in India. Borewells draw water from much deeper underground compared to open wells, accessing pressurized water trapped within rock fractures rather than shallow, unconfined aquifers.
The Association for People with Disability (APD) instituted water conservation measures, the details of which are in this document. A video of the project can be seen at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvaYBzTPAPc
Case study - Deccan International School.pdfbiometrust
Deccan International School has successfully tackled its flooding issue by using recharge wells to send the excess water into the ground. This has also added the benefit of the revival of all its borewells, eliminating the use of tankers for the last 3 years.
This effort can be furthered by setting up rooftop rainwater harvesting for all its buildings. This will help reduce purification and pumping costs for the school and also help revive the open well for long-term water security. Revival of this large old well also has the added benefit of preserving our heritage artefacts. Since this is a school, this and the rest of the water management system could be great learning for the protection and optimal usage of our natural resources for its students.
