1.INTRODUCTION Water is the most common or major substance on earth, covering more than 70% of the planets surface. The total amount of water on earth remains constant. The rapid growth in population together with industrial development, are putting stress on the natural ecosystems. Water supply mainly depends on the natural water bodies likes lakes and artificial water bodies like reservoirs etc. Due to the Urbanisation and rapid growth in the population many lakes has been lost and the majority of the present were polluted . This results in the imbalance of demand and supply of water. To overcome supply shortages, many households, businesses and industries fall back on groundwater reserves. The number of bore wells increased.

1.INTRODUCTION This is leading to the fall in the ground water table. One possible strategy could be the usage of rainwater in order to overcome the shortage of water. Rain water harvesting means to make optimum use of rain water at the place where it falls i.e. conserve it and not allowing it to drain away. The water can be used as drinking water, water for livestock, water for irrigation or to refill aquifers in a process called ground water recharge. The rainwater falling on roof of residential buildings and institutions can be an important contribution to the availability of water. 1.INTRODUCTION

DESIGN OF RWHS COMPONENTS

DESIGN OF RWHS Roof catchment: The area of the roof from which the rain water is collected. The total area of the catchment roof for D block = 2351 sqm

ROOF PLAN

DESIGN OF RWHS Area of catchment = 2351 m2 Annual arerage rainfall = 887 mm = 0.887m Runoff co-efficient = 0.85 Volume of runoff = area of catchment x annual average rainfall x runoff co-efficient = 2351 x 0.887 x 0.85 = 1773 m3/yr

DESIGN OF RWHS Average value of highest rainfall in rainy days = 94mm =0.094m Volume of Runoff = 2351 x 0.094 x 0.85 = 188 m3/day For economical design considering half of the discharge as volume of tank Volume of tank = 94 m3

DESIGN OF RWHS Assume depth of tank = 2m Area of tank = volume of the tank/depth = 94/2 = 47m2 = 50m2(approx.) Taking Length: Breadth ratio as 2:1 L = 2B 2B x B = 50 B = 5m L = 10m

DESIGN OF CONDUITS Head loss hf =

COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS Volume of water collected in a year through RWHS = 1773 m3/yr = 1773000 litres/yr Volume of water collected in year excluding 20% overflow = 1773000 x 0.8 = 1418400 litres/yr We use daily one tanker of 20,000 litres capacity Volume of water used per day = 20,000 litres Cost of one tanker = Rs.1000/-

Cost of one litre of water = = Total cost of water = cost of water purchased in a purchased per year day x No. of days water used in a year. = 1000 x 242 = Rs.2,42,000/-

Total cost of water that can be collected by RWHS = 1418400 x 0 Total cost of water that can be collected by RWHS = 1418400 x 0.05 = Rs.70,920/- Amount of money saved = Rs.70,920/-
