Rainwater Harvesting
Rain Water Harvesting?.Rain Water Harvesting?.
• Rain Water Harvesting RWH- process of collecting,
conveying & storing water from rainfall in an area – for
beneficial use.
• Storage – in tanks, reservoirs, underground storage-
groundwater
• Hydrological Cycle

What Is Rainwater Harvesting?
RWH technology consists of simple systems to collect, convey,
and store rainwater. Rainwater capture is accomplished
primarily from roof-top, surface runoff, and other surfaces.
RWH either captures stored rainwater for direct use (irrigation,
production, washing, drinking water, etc.) or is recharged into
the local ground water and is call artificial recharge.
In many cases, RWH systems are used in conjunction with
Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR). ASR is the introduction
of RWH collected rainwater to the groundwater / aquifer
through various structures in excess of what would naturally
infiltrate then recovered for use

Why Rainwater Harvesting?
Conserve and supplement existing water resources
Available for capture and storage in most global
locations
Potentially provide improved quality of water
Supply water at one of the lowest costs possible for a
supplemental supply source.
Capturing and directing storm water (run-off) and
beneficially use it
Commitment as a corporate citizen - showcasing
environmental concerns
Public Mandate (India)
Replenishing local ground water aquifers where lowering
of water tables has occured
.ppt (5)
Why Not RWH?
Not applicable in all climate conditions over the world
Performance seriously affected by climate fluctuations that
sometimes are hard to predict
Increasingly sophisticated RWH systems (ASR) necessarily
increases complexities in cost, design, operation,
maintenance, size and regulatory permitting
Collected rainwater can be degraded with the inclusion of
storm water runoff
Collected water quality might be affected by external factors
Collection systems require monitoring and continuous
maintenance and improvement to maintain desired water
quality characteristics for water end-use
Certain areas will have high initial capital cost with low ROI

Ground catchments systems channel water
from a prepared catchment area into storage.
Generally they are only considered in areas
where rainwater is very scarce and other
sources of water are not available. They are
more suited to small communities than
individual families. If properly designed, ground
catchment systems can collect large quantities
of rainwater.

Storage
• Storage devices may be either above or below ground
• Different types include
 Storage Tanks
 Water Containers
 Lagoons or Lined Ponds
 Infiltration Ponds
 Size based on rainfall pattern, demand, budget and area
• Roof Rain Water Harvesting
• Land based Rain Water Harvesting
• Watershed based Rain Water harvesting
• For Urban & Industrial Environment –
• Roof & Land based RWH
• Public, Private, Office & Industrial buildings
• Pavements, Lawns, Gardens & other open
spaces

Recharge Wells
The runoff water from rooftops or
other catchments can be
channelized into an existing /new
well via sand filter to filter
turbidity and other pollutants
Abandoned wells can also be used
Cost-effective process, which not
only conserves rainwater for
immediate use but also helps to
enhance the local ground water

Editor's Notes

  • #7 Narration: The hydrologic or water cycle is the continuous flow of water between reservoirs at or near the earth’s surface. As water falls to the ground as precipitation, it may develop as surface runoff into nearby surface waters or infiltrate into the ground and become stored as groundwater. Water stored in open areas, know as surface water, can evaporate into the atmosphere. In addition, water used by plants for normal growth or transpiration is also returned to the atmosphere. Once in the atmosphere water can condense into clouds and precipitate as rain or snowfall, initiating the cycle over again. Water is a renewable resource that, managed properly, can sustain the activities in the watershed for an indefinite period of time. Animation: shows water cycle

  • #14 The collection device usually represents the biggest capital investment of an RWH system. It therefore requires careful design- to provide optimal storage capacity while keeping the cost as low as possible. While above-ground structures like tanks are easily purchased or made with a variety of designs, and water extraction is in many cases by gravity; they also are expensive, require more space and are prone to attack from the weather. Below-ground structures like cisterns, lagoons etc. are generally cheaper due to lower material requirements and unobtrusive. However, water extraction often requires a pump, contamination is more common, and present a potential danger to children and small animals if left uncovered.
  • #16 Existing structures such as defunct bore wells, unused/dried up open wells, unused sumps, etc. can be very well used for RWH through this technology of recharge wells instead of constructing recharge structures to reduce the total cost
