Abstract

Rain water harvesting (RWH) is an excellent technique of water conservation of future needs and also to recharge ground water. Due to alarming population burden, climate change, uneven distribution of rainfall and abrupt variation of metrological parameters, the surface and ground water resource are continuously depleting in India. Hence adoption of different water conservation techniques at individual, institute and community level has become imperative to cater to the needs. The study was aimed at designing a rooftop and surface runoff rainwater harvesting structure for the Jaihind campus, Kuran, Located in Maharashtra state of India. All possible catchment areas are considering for rain water harvesting. Further, different parts of RWH system where designed based on standard guidelines it was observed from the analysis that implementation of RWH system in Jaihind Campus, Kuran can resolve the water scarcity during non monsoon seasonby recharging the huge quantity of 18614.22 m3 in a year in the Jaihind campus. This initiative can increase the water supply for gardening purpose and will help in artificial recharge of ground water thus enriching both surface and ground water resources.
