Design of Potential Rainwater Harvesting Structures for Environmental Adoption Measures in India

As the scarcity of water is rapidly increasing everyday particularly during the summer season, the demand for water also substantially increases. Previously around thirty to forty years back, the major part of the earth is unpaved and the amount of infrastructure built on the earth were also very low, hence during the monsoon season the rainwater easily percolates into the earth through the soil and the ground water level increases. But now the scenario is completely changes, most of the areas have been paved and the chance of percolation of water is completely reduced. Hence to replenish the ground water table and also to re-utilize the rainwater for domestic and agricultural purposes, the rain water harvesting method is adopted. The rainwater harvesting is simple collection or storing of water through scientific techniques where the rainfalls. The rain water harvesting not only helps in meeting the daily water usage but also helps in increasing the ground water levels quality and quantity. Here in our research work, we are going to adopt the roof-top rainwater harvesting method and implement it in apartment building without allowing the water to be wasted through the gutters. In this research work the main focus is to design the collection procedure, store the rain water from roof top of the building.
