INTRODUCTION  Rain Water Harvesting is the accumulation &
storage rain water for reuse on site, rather then
allowing it to runoff.
 The Harvesting of rain water involves the
collection of water from surfaces on which rain
falls & subsequently storing this water for future
use.
 Its uses include water for gardens, imgation
domestic use with proper treatment, ground water
recharge.
USES OF RA I N  For Irrigation purposes.
 For Ground water recharge.
WATER  For Gardening.
 For domestic use with proper treatment.
  To overcome the situation of inadequacy of surface water to
N EED OF RA I N melt the demands.
 Also due to increasing population of India, the use of around
WATER water table has increases. so to increase the ground water
HARVESTING table this is the easiest & most economical choice.
 To recharge underground water table at place where
availability of rainwater is higher or to overcome the
situation of water logging.
 In state of Tamilnadu, RWH was made compulsory for every
building to avoid ground water deception.
 In Rajasthan, RWH has traditionally been practiced by people
of than desert.
 At present, in pune (maharashtra) , RWH is compulsory for
any new society to be registered.
  Directly from no of top and stored in tanks.
M ET H ODS OF Collection and transfer of rain water into
HARVESTING percolation tanks so as to facilitate discharge into
ground.
 Water from flooded river can be stored in small
ponds.
COM P ON EN T S OF  Catchment Area.
 Transportation.
RAIN WATER  First Flush.
H A RV EST I N G SYST EM  Storage System & Delivery System.
 Filtration System.
  The Surface that receive rainfall
CAT CH M EN T A REA directly is the catchment of rain
water harvesting system.
 It may be terrace, courtyard or
paved or unpaved open ground.
T R A N SPO R T A T I O N  Rain water from rooftop should be
carried through a down takes water
pipes to storage or harvesting system.
 Water should be UV resistant screen
as ISI HDPE or PVC pipes of required
Capacity
  First Flush is a device used to flush
FI RST FLUSH off the water received in the first
shower.
 It should be Flushed off to could the
contaminating water by the probably
contaminants of the atmosphere &
catchment roof.
 It also helps in cleaning of silt and
other materials deposited on the roof
during dry system.
 Provision of first rain separator should
be made at outlet of each drainpipe.
STORAGE &  All collected rain water are store
in tank.
DELI V ERY SYST EM  Delivery system is the system to
delivered of water for uses. There
are use of pumps to take out water
from tank & delivered for many
purpose.
FI LT RA T I ON  Filtration are used for treatment of water
SYSTEM to effectively remove turbidity, color,
odour & microorganism.
 After first flushing of rainfall, water should
pass through filters. There are different
types of filter in practice, bat basic
function is to purify water.
 Different types of filter is used in RWH are
sand gravel filter & charcoal filter.
SA N D GRA V EL  These are commonly used filters,
constructed by brick masonry &
FILTER filleted by pebbles, gravels & sand.
CHARCOAL FILTER  Charcoal filter can be made in sites or
in a drew.
 Pebbles, gravel, sand & charcoal
should fill the drew.
 Each layer should be separated by wire
mesh.
 Their layer of charcoal is used
to adsorb odour if any.
ADVANTAGE  This technology is simple & easy to install.
 It has low maintenance cost & running cost.
 Water collected from roof catchment usually
is of acceptable quality for domestic purpose.
 RWH provides a good supplement to other
water sources thus relieving pressure on
other water sources.
 Helps to reduce the storm drainage load &
water logging problems in cities.
DISADVANTAGE  Initial cost may be high.
 Limitedsupply & uncertainity
of rainfall.
  Since, rain is the first form of water in hydro
CONCLUSION logical cycle & hence is a primary source of
water.
 River, lakes, & ground water are all secondary
sources of water.
 In present time, we depend entirely on such
secondary sources of water.
 In this process, it is forgotten that rain is the
ultimate source that feed all the secondary
sources & remain ignorant of its value.
 Water harvesting means to understand the
value of rain & to make optimum use of
rainwater at the places where it falls.
