Design of Rain Water Harvesting System

Water is a major source of human survival and all the major activities like urbanization, agriculture and production depends on it. But because of uneven rainfall and consumption of water at a faster rate, scarcity of water has become an alarming situation. With the depletion of water from both surface and underground water resources like wells, rivers and reservoirs, it is time to implement water conservation techniques. Rain water harvesting is a potential method and can be implemented for the same. The present study focuses on importance of rain water harvesting and design of rain water harvesting system for University campus of DeenBandhu Chhotu Ram University of Science and Technology (DCRUST), Murthal, Sonipat in Haryana to meet the demand of water and reduce the pressure on conventional source of water supply. The aim of the study is to collect water from campus library building and its vicinity and design RWH sys-tem for both storage and recharge purpose.
