Site Area
2260 sq. meters
Rooftop Area
1600 sq. meters
Annual Rainwater Potential
20 lac litres
Problem
The site has a rooftop potential of 32,000 litres of rainwater a day that ends up in the drains, instead of getting stored or recharging the groundwater. Also, the existing harvesting pits were filled with silt and are not serving their purpose.
Solution
Rainwater Harvesting: After a site analysis, we advised the builders/engineers to build recharge pits with an injection bore. This way we can save on the entire rooftop potential of the site each day when it rains and percolate them to the shallow aquifers beneath the ground.
Result
Proper water management can help us meet our daily water requirements. By capturing and harvesting the rooftop rainwater, we were able to make great savings in terms of water tankers.
