Implementation of a village-wide Rainwater collection system
Dr.D.Y.Patil Institute of Technology, Pimpri, Pune-18, India
The design of facilities for rainwater harvesting systems is essential to harness a sustainable and valuable water resource. This abstract provides an overview of the key components and considerations involved in designing such facilities. It highlights the critical stages of catchment surface selection, gutter and downspout installation, storage tank design, filtration systems, distribution networks, and maintenance access. Additionally, it emphasizes the significance of legal compliance, sustainability, and community education in creating effective rainwater harvesting systems. The design process offers an opportunity to optimize rainwater utilization, conserve potable water sources, and promote environmental sustainability. This abstract serves as a starting point for engineers, architects, and communities seeking to implement efficient rainwater harvesting systems tailored to their specific needs and contexts.
Key words: Rainwater harvesting / Facilities Design / Catchment Surface / Gutter and Downspout / Storage Tank / Percolation Pit
