 Conclusion.

3. WHAT IS water harvesting ?
It is the activity of direct collection of
rain water .
Water harvesting means capturing rain
water, where it falls and capture the
runoff from, catchment and streams etc.
Generally, water harvesting is direct
rainwater collection. This collected
water could be stored for later use and
recharged into the ground water again.

4. Rain Water in India
Total annual rainfall in India:
(area x height)
India’s area:329 million
hectares
If evenly spread, average
height: 1.28m
329 X 1.28 = 421.12millimiters

6. WHY WATER HARVESTING IS IMPORTANT
?
To conserve & augment the storage of
ground water
To reduce water table depletion
To improve the quality of ground water
 To arrest sea water intrusion in coastal
areas
To avoid flood & water stagnation in
urban areas

7. Techniques of rain water harvestings.
There are two main techniques
of rain water harvestings.
Storage of rainwater on surface for future use.
Recharge to ground water.

12. Masonry Tanks
Reinforced Cement Concrete Tank
(RCC)
Ferro Cement Jars

14. Determine Tank Capacity
For Rectangular Tank
Height x Length x Width =
Cubic Feet x 7.47 = Gallons
Round Tank
π × R² × H=
Cubic Feet x 7.47 = Gallons

15. Determine the Amount of rainfall
The volume of water
collected in the pan
is:
V (m3) = L (m) x w (m) x d (m) =
1 m x 1 m x 0.010 m = 0.01 m3 or
10 liters
10 mm rainwater collected
in the container

21. The earth has an abundance of water, but unfortunately only
a small percentage (about 2.5%) is even usable by humans.
The other 97.5% is in the oceans, soils, icecaps, and floating in
the atmosphere.
Earth contains as
Sea+Oceans = 96.5%
Ground water = 1.7%
Glaciers = 1.7%
Vapor+Air = 0.001%
Only 2.5% of this water is freshwater.
Finally its very important to serve everything on
this planet
