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?
.ppt (3)
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 (4)
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 Water Recharge
Under natural conditions it may take days to centuries to recharge ground water
by rain water. As we need to replenish the pumped water, Artificial Recharge of
Ground water is required at some locations. .ppt (9)

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 devices may be either above or below ground
Different types include
Storage Tanks
Water Containers
Lagoons or Lined Ponds
