Rain Water Harvesting: An Ideal Solution

The Rainwater collection system is known to have existed for over 4000 years. This technique is being revived today to give back to nature what we take from it.

Rain water harvesting - a simple, economical and eco-friendly method of water conservation is an ideal solution to recharge the ground water.

The rainwater that falls on the surface/ roof top is guided to borewells or pits or new/ old/ abandoned wells through small diameter pipes to recharge the underground water which can be used later whenever required.

Rainwater can be harvested to the extent of 55,000 litres per 100sq. metres area per year from rooftops.

Benefits Of Rainwater Harvesting

• Quality of Groundwater improves

• Raises the water levels in wells and borewells that are drying up.

• Mitigates the effects of drought and achieves drought - proofing.

• An ideal solution to water problem in areas having inadequate water resources.

• Reduces the soil erosion as the surface runoff is reduced.

• Choking of storm water drains and flooding of roads decreases.

• Saving of Energy: To lift ground water, one meter rise in water level saves about 0.40 kilo watt hour of electricity.
