Conclusion
Rationale:-
Rainwater harvesting is a type of harvest in which the rain drops are collected and stored
for future use, rather than allowing them to run off.
Rainwater can be collected from rivers or roofs and redirected to a dip pit (wells , shaft or
borehole) , aquifer , a reservoir with percolation , or collected from dew or fog with
Nets or other tools.
The harvested water canalso be used as drinking water , longer term storage , and for
other purpose such as groundwater recharge
Benefits:-
Can supplement other source of water supply such as groundwater and municipal water
connections.
Ability to build or farm in areas with no other water supply.
High quality water – pure, free of chemicals.
Lower water supply cost.
Reduce flood flow and hence reduced topsoil loss.
It can solve the drainage problem on your property while providing you with free water.

Where should project suitable:-
1. Ground water is contaminated.
2. Seismic and flooding events are common.
3. Is rugged or mountainous.
4. Population density is low.
5. Electricity and water prices are rising.
6. Water is too hard and mineral laden.
What are the different methodologies to collect rain water?
a) Rain barrels:-
This method is most common and one that many people are familiar with.
This involves installing a barrel at a gutter downspout to collect rainwater.
The actual barrel may be a recycled barrel or a new commercially available
barrel.
Capacity is generally only the 50 to 100 gallons.
Easily overflow and collection opportunities.
Fig:-
Pros:-
Easily implemented by anyone at any residence.
Barrels are readily available in your community or at various stores and
website barrels don’t take up much space so they can fit into any situation.
Barrels don’t take up much space so they can fit into any situation.
Cons:-
Capacity is generally only 50 to 100 gallons.
Easily overflows and wastes collection opportunities.
b) Wet System:-
This method involves locating collection pipes underground in order to
connect multiple downspouts from different gutters.
The rainwater will fill the underground piping and the water will rise in the
vertical pipes until it spill into the tank.
The downspout and underground collection piping must have water – fight
collection.
Fig :-
Pros:-
The ability to collect from your entire collection surface.
The ability to collect from multiple gutters and downspout.
The tank can be located away from your house.
Cons:-
More expensive to implement due to underground piping.
Sufficient difference between gutters and tank inlet must be available.
HOW DO I CREATE COMPLETE RAINWATER SYSTEM?
The image below show a complete rainwater collection system while
some of the component shown are absolutely necessary , not all of the
components listed are required.
Although, all of these components will help create a harvesting system
that is highly functional and nearly maintenance free.
Fig :-
RAINWATER RESERVOIR DESIGNS:-
WATER JAR OR JUMBO JAR
The design of the water jar have been built in Thailand
The construction cost for a jumbo tar free.
Made from concrete with chicken wire and bamboo sticks to provide the strength and
shape of the structure.
WATER TANK :-
The designs of the water jar have been built in Kenya.
The tank should not be more than 1.75 min in depth in order to withstand the pressured of
the water.
Application :-
Commercial Uses:-
1. Cooling tower make up water.
2. Toilet flushes
3. Irrigation
4. Fire suppression
Domestic Uses:-
1. Bathing and laundry
2. Water for wildlife
3. Composting
4. Drinking
5. Cooking
6. Flushing toilet
COUNTRY NAMES USES RAIN WATER HARVESTING:-
CANADA
INDIA
ISRAEL
Conclusion:-
The rainwater harvesting is a viable option to supplement city water
for non-portable human uses, such as irrigation. The overall efficiency of
rainwater harvesting system to supplement city water increases as area increases.
