ITRODUCTION
Rain water Harvesting is the technique of
collection and storage of rain water at
surface or in sub surface aquifer, before it is
lost as surface run-off.
Roof tops.
Water bodies.
Roof catchment
-tiles 0.80-0.90
-corrugated metal sheets 0.70-0.90
Ground surface coverings
-concrete 0.60-0.80
-brick pavement 0.50-0.60
Untreated ground catchment
-soil on slops less than 10% 0.00-0.30
-rocky natural catchment 0.20-0.50
Water harvesting potential=rainfall x area
of catchment x run off coefficient x
constant coefficient (0.80)
For example—
If the max. rainfall=258.7mmin a
month,
C.G.I. Roof area 20x5=100 sq.m.
Surface coefficient =0.75
S=RXAXCX0.80
=O.2587X100XO.75 X0.80
=15.522 cu.m/month
i.e.15522 l/month
Under ground water movement
Naturally only 10-15%of rain water is
charged to ground water ,but artificially it
can be charged upto 50%.
Rural scenario
From rooftops, stored in tanks or in
artificial wells.
Capture water from swollen streams
during the monsoon season and store
in various forms of water bodies
