The Problem:
Why water conservation?
- INTRODUCTION
Rainwater harvesting system is a method of collection of rainwater through roofs or open spaces in buildings or areas and recharge of ground
water level so that this stored water can be use for various purposes. Due to the increase of population and infrastructure and land development projects
results in demolition and deterioration of our natural environment. This imbalance our natural environment working patterns. And water shortage
problem is an outcome of this activities.
Chhattisgarh is covered by these water systems of India : Ganga ,Mahanadi,Narmada and Godawari.This rivers drain the different districts of
Chhattisgarh. The water shortage problem has been faced in different areas of Chhattisgarh like mantringa village ,balrampur is battling with water
issue since 20 years, Rajnandgaon ,Raipur and other districts in previous years. Previous years records shows the rainfall amount fluctuations in these
areas. Due to un awareness and improper knowledge of effective management of water , peoples are facing these problems .So RWH System is an
effective way of water management.
Benefits of Rain water harvesting system:
1) Rainwater is a free source of water.
2) Rainwater can be used for plantation and gardens or others.
3) It can supplement groundwater and municipal supply connection.
4) Lowers the water supply cost.
5) Environmentally adequate and naturally capable ,use of basic innovations
Components:
1) Roof catchment
2) Catchment area
3) Gutter
4) Down pipe
5) Filter unit
6) Storage tank
Need for Rainwater Harvesting System:
1) As the water shortage problem increasing day by day due to various reasons ,it is accomplish to adopt these system as individual to fulfil water needs.
2) Groundwater level is decreasing and gets infected and contaminated.
3) Health at risk because of using contaminated water.
4) To do effective plantation using these water.
5) Control soil disintegration due to excess surface runoff.
METHODOLOGY
Our study area is Chhattisgarh. We will plan rainwater harvesting system that can be implemented in all the residence located in various regions
of Chhattisgarh. For better understanding of whole process we will take an example of a residence and will design a rainwater harvesting system for
that including all design and detailed parameters. we will take a residential building and plan the space and placing of storage tank and paths of pipes
from various catchment area to the tank and flow of water and dimension of tank and design
