Water Harvesting

The document discusses various aspects of water resource management including assessing current sanitary flows, creating flow monitoring programs, rainwater harvesting methods, artificial groundwater recharge techniques, the benefits of groundwater recharge, and that addressing water issues will require effort from all members of society. It provides information on individual, community and ecological levels of water management and sustainability. The crisis affects us all and solving it will take effort from everyone.

 Need to take into account the needs of present and future user
 Scientific, cultural and educational aspects should be
considered
 Water as a important natural resource
 Assess the current sanitary flow volumes and rates
 Creating flow monitoring program
E.g.: Mumbai sanitary sewer system
• It is a system to collect and store water
• There are two ways of rain water harvesting
1) Catching water at the ground level
2) Recharging the underground water tables
• Rain water harvesting is done more in villages then in the
cities
 Rooftops used as water catching structures
 To collect the surrounding water flow at the gate of the house
 Baby wells can be constructed for the purpose of water
harvesting
 For a single flat the cost is RS 2000 to 5000 and for 25 flats
the cost is RS 60,000 to RS 80,000
1. Individual level

2. Community level

3. Ecological level
• Increase in water demand
• More dependence on ground water use
• Over exploitation of ground water
• Reduction in open soil surface area
• Increase in run-off ,decline in well yields and fall in
water levels
 It a process by which the ground water reservoir is augmented
at a rate exceeding the natural conditions
 Surface water is inadequate so we have to depend on ground
water
 Any man-made scheme or facility that adds water to an
aquifer is considered as an artificial recharge system
• Storage of rainwater on surface for future use
• Recharge to ground water
• The structures used for this technique are
1) Pits
2) Trenches
3) Dug wells
4) Hand pumps
5) Recharge wells
6) Recharge shaft
 Water spreading

 Recharge through pits, trenches,wells,shafts

 Rooftop collection of rain water

 Road top collection of rain water

 Induced recharge from surface water bodies


• Improvement in infiltration and reduction in run-off

• Improvement in groundwater levels and yields.

• Reduces strain on Special Village Panchayats/ Municipal /


Municipal Corporation water supply

• Improvement in groundwater quality

• Estimated quantity of additional recharge from 100 sq. m.


roof top area is 55.000 liters.
All of us are responsible for this crisis.

All of us have a duty to overcome it.
