Rain water harvesting is the technique of collecting and storing rainwater in natural reservoirs or tanks. There are two methods of rain water harvesting - surface runoff harvesting, which collects rainwater flowing away on surfaces in urban areas, and roof top rain water harvesting, which collects rainwater falling on rooftops. Surface runoff harvesting diverts surface runoff in urban areas that would otherwise flow away and uses it for recharging.
This document provides information about Rainstore3, a subsurface stormwater storage system produced by Invisible Structures, Inc. It describes the key features and benefits of Rainstore3, such as its high storage capacity, flexibility in design, ability to be installed at shallow depths, and convenience of exfiltration. The document also discusses how Rainstore3 can enable development of sites that may otherwise be unable to be built upon due to stormwater management challenges. It then provides guidance on using Rainstore3 for various stormwater applications and outlines a five-step process for designing with Rainstore3.
Rainwater harvesting involves collecting rainwater from rooftops and storing it for later use. The key components are the catchment area (usually a rooftop), conveyance systems to transport the water (such as gutters and downpipes), and a storage system (like a tank). Proper filters are required to remove debris. The harvested rainwater can be used for non-potable purposes like gardening and cleaning to supplement regular water supplies, reduce demand on local water resources, and prevent flooding. Regular maintenance is needed to keep the system functioning well.
Stormwater runoff from impervious surfaces like rooftops and roads picks up pollution as it flows across the landscape. This polluted runoff is delivered directly to local streams and rivers without treatment. Backyard rain gardens capture runoff from these surfaces and allow the water to soak into the ground, filtering out pollutants before reaching waterways. Rain gardens are shallow depressions planted with native plants, and they reduce flooding by sending water underground rather than into streets. Maintaining rain gardens with annual mulching and weeding helps keep them functioning properly to improve water quality.

Prayas Session : Rain Water Harvesting by Soumalya Nandi
This document discusses the importance and methods of rainwater harvesting. It notes that rainwater is the ultimate source of fresh water and rainwater harvesting helps augment groundwater levels. There are two main methods of rainwater harvesting - surface runoff harvesting and rooftop rainwater harvesting. Rooftop rainwater harvesting involves collecting rainwater from building roofs and storing it in tanks, which can then be used for non-potable purposes. Alternatively, the harvested rainwater can be used to recharge groundwater aquifers through various structures like recharge pits and trenches. The document outlines the key components of a rooftop rainwater harvesting system, including catchments, transportation pipes, first flush devices, and filters.
PA: Philadelphia: Green Roof Demonstration ProjectSotirakou964
This document summarizes a demonstration project that installed a 3,000 square foot vegetated roof cover on an industrial building in Philadelphia. The project showed that vegetated roof covers can reduce stormwater runoff volumes by up to 54% annually and attenuate peak runoff rates for a variety of storm events by detaining rainfall in plant foliage and soil. Benefits of vegetated roof covers include reduced stormwater management costs, improved air and water quality, energy savings, and extended roof membrane life.
Rain gardens are designed gardens or plantings that help capture and clean storm water runoff from surfaces like rooftops, driveways, and lawns. They prevent soil erosion and reduce pollutants entering waterways. A typical rain garden has different planting zones suited to different soil moisture levels, with the lowest area planted with wetland plants and the outer edge planted with drought-tolerant species. Rain gardens are an effective way to manage storm water naturally, like forests do, by slowing and filtering runoff through plants and soil. Homeowners and communities are increasingly using rain gardens to protect watersheds and meet regulations on storm water discharge.

Rainwater harvesting is the collection and storage of rainwater for various uses like irrigation, domestic use, and groundwater recharge. It has become increasingly important due to rising water demand and depletion of groundwater sources. There are two main types of rainwater harvesting - rural models which use traditional structures like tanks and step wells to facilitate irrigation and drinking water, and urban models which typically involve rooftop catchment and storage tanks. The benefits of rainwater harvesting include supplementing water sources, reducing flooding and soil erosion, and replenishing groundwater through recharge.
Rainwater harvesting is a method of collecting and storing rainwater runoff from rooftops in underground tanks or reservoirs. It has several advantages, including providing an independent water supply, reducing flooding, and replenishing groundwater. The key components of a rainwater harvesting system are the roof catchment area, gutters, downpipes, a filtration system, and a storage tank. Proper installation and maintenance can provide a low-cost source of non-potable water for households and help conserve fresh water resources.
This document discusses various topics related to water shortage issues and solutions like rainwater harvesting and water recycling. It provides information on reasons for water shortage like population increase and urbanization. It then covers rainwater harvesting techniques like catchment area, storage tanks, and advantages. Water recycling processes like primary treatment, secondary treatment and uses of recycled water are outlined. The conclusion recommends rainwater harvesting and water recycling as ways to overcome water scarcity and conserve resources.
This document discusses rainwater harvesting systems. It defines rainwater harvesting as collecting and storing rainwater from surfaces like rooftops or land. There are several types of rainwater harvesting systems, including rooftop catchments, ground catchments, and rock catchments. The typical components of a rainwater harvesting system are catchment areas, gutters, filters, storage tanks, and first flush diverters to improve water quality. Rainwater harvesting provides benefits like independent water supplies during droughts and reducing flood risks while providing potable water. On average, a 10m x 12m roof could collect over 67,000 liters of rainwater annually in a location with 800mm of annual rainfall.

Texas; Introduction to Rainwater Harvesting - Texas A&M UniversityV9X
Rainwater harvesting involves capturing and storing rainwater for landscape irrigation and other non-potable uses. It can reduce demand on municipal water supplies and make efficient use of rainfall, a valuable resource. Simple systems distribute rainwater directly from the catchment area to plants, while complex systems include storage containers to make water available when needed. Factors like rainfall amounts, landscape water requirements, and costs determine whether investing in a complex system is worthwhile for a given property. Rainwater harvesting provides multiple environmental and economic benefits when properly designed and implemented.
This document provides information on rainwater harvesting including how much water can be collected from rooftops of different sizes, components of a rainwater harvesting system, recommended storage sizes, uses of collected rainwater, best practices for water management, and costs associated with rainwater harvesting systems. It explains that rainwater harvesting is the process of collecting rainwater falling on rooftops and storing it for future use, and that a basic system can cost Rs. 3,000 while more advanced systems may cost Rs. 10,000-100,000.
The Bluegrass Rain Garden Alliance promotes rain gardens as a best management practice to reduce stormwater runoff, improve water quality, and enhance landscapes in Central Kentucky. Rain gardens are shallow depressions that capture and filter runoff from impervious surfaces before it enters the stormwater system. They use native plants and natural processes to improve water quality by filtering pollutants and reducing stormwater runoff. The Alliance recommends siting, designing, and planting rain gardens with native species that are adapted to local conditions and provide benefits like deep roots and wildlife habitat.
The document provides information about the RainXchange stormwater collection and reuse system. It describes the various components of the system including downspout filters, storage tanks, pumps, and how it can be used for irrigation. It also provides resources for specifications, drawings, manuals and technical support for the system.
This document discusses rainwater harvesting (RWH), which involves collecting and storing rainwater. RWH can be done through various techniques from simple jars and pots to underground check dams. The main uses of harvested rainwater are for recharging groundwater, irrigation, drinking, industry, gardening, and livestock. RWH has advantages like being inexpensive and easy to implement using local materials and labor. Roof top RWH involves collecting rainwater from rooftops through pipes to storage tanks and can filter the water before various uses. The document provides examples of RWH being implemented in places like Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan, and Pune to combat issues like water scarcity and groundwater depletion.
This document discusses reasons for water shortage such as population increase, urbanization, and decreasing water sources. It then describes how rainwater harvesting can help address this issue by recharging groundwater supplies. The document outlines the basic components and methods of rainwater harvesting systems, which collect rainwater from surfaces like rooftops and redirect it to storage tanks or underground to replenish aquifers. Effective filtration is important to ensure water quality. Increased water levels and improved groundwater quality are indicators that rainwater harvesting is successfully augmenting local water supplies.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

It’s a problem that won’t wash away in the next shower and if we don’t take
steps to conserve water now we will be facing hosepipe bans early summer.
The escalating drought situation in Southern England reflects our changing relationship with water and particularly our increasing
dependency on a constant supply. On one hand, water has become a valuable commodity. On the other, rainfall patterns have
changed, leading to shorter heavier bursts that pose major risks to the drainage infrastructure.
This cycle of extremes is likely to only get worse unless we adopt a sustainable approach to water consumption and management.
Rainwater Harvesting is one of the most intelligent solutions to help tackle both these issues.
