We are proud to mention this case study where this Government institute has taken these steps to implement Rain water Harvesting system and conserve the water.

Details of the system:

Roof area considered for rain water Harvesting = 4000 sqft i.e. about 372 m2

Rain water harvesting application = Water tank storage

Estimated rainwater availability (Considering 700 mm rainfall in a season)

=372 x700=2,60,400 liters in every Monsoon season.

This is another appreciable example of concerned Punelites. Bendre from Sadashiv Peth in a pretty old architecture house (Wada). This family has never experienced a water shortage problem. Present municipal water supply is enough for them. They have implemented this Rainwater harvesting system for their small terrace.

Details of the system:

Roof area considered for rain water Harvesting = 600 sq.ft i.e. about 56 m2

Rain water harvesting application = Water tank storage

Estimated rainwater availability (Considering 700 mm rainfall in a season)

=56 x700=39,200 liters in every Monsoon season.

Residents of Hrishikesh Apartment have also the lead to conserve the huge source of Rain Water after understanding the need of Rain Water. Harare not having much water shortage problem. Once in a while in summer they do bring water tanker to satisfy their water need. However after understanding the importance of Water conservation, they have decided to implement this rainwater harvesting system. Project at this apartment is divided in two phases. Half of the terrace rain water is harvested and utilized for Bore well recharge and other half of the terrace rain water is harvested and utilized for storage in the water tank.

Details of the system:

Roof area considered for rain water Harvesting= 2200 sq.ft i.e. about 205 Sq. m

Rain water harvesting application= Bore well recharging and water tank storage

Estimated rainwater availability

(Considering 700 mm rainfall in a season)=205 x700=1,43,500 liters in every monsoon season.

Renowned and established promoter and construction group M/s Goel Ganga has taken a wise decision to implement the rain water-harvesting system for their township project “GangaDham” in market yard Pune,

Details of the system:

Roof area considered for rain water Harvesting = 67000 sq.ft i.e. about 6228 m2

Rain water harvesting application = Water tank storage and Bore well recharge

Estimated rainwater availability (Considering 700 mm rainfall in a season)

=39,23,640 liters in every Monsoon season.

This is the classic example, where management of this Industry has taken the wise decision to implement rain water harvesting system to save on the water expenses by make use of their Industrial shed.

Details of the system:

Roof area considered for rain water Harvesting = 19000 sq.ft i.e. about 1766 m2

Rain water harvesting application = Water tank storage and Bore well recharge

Estimated rainwater availability (Considering 700 mm rainfall in a season)

=9,88,000 liters in every Monsoon season.

Details of the system:

Roof area considered for rain water Harvesting = 1200 sq.ft i.e. about 112 m2

Rain water harvesting application = Bore well recharge

Estimated rainwater availability (Considering 700 mm rainfall in a season)

=70560 liters in every Monsoon season.

This is a very classic example of Rainwater harvesting system implemented for individual bungalow.

Condition before Rain Water Harvesting Implementation:

Bore well drying up.

Problem of water availability due to irregular municipal water supply.

Condition after Implementing Rain Water Harvesting:

Bore well water discharge improved dramatically.

No need to depend on municipal water supply.

Details of the system:

Roof area considered for rain water Harvesting = 850 sq.ft i.e. about 7

Rain water harvesting application = Bore well recharging

Estimated rainwater availability (Considering 700 mm rainfall in a season) =78 x700=54,600 liters in every monsoon season.

Residents of Hrishikesh Apartment have also the lead to conserve the huge source of Rain Water after understanding the need of Rain Water. Harare not having much water shortage problem. Once in a while in summer they do bring water tanker to satisfy their water need. However after understanding the importance of Water conservation, they have decided to implement this rainwater harvesting system. Project at this apartment is divided in two phases.

Rain water harvesting application= Bore well recharging and water tank storage

Estimated rainwater availability

(Considering 700 mm rainfall in a season)=205 x700=1,43,500 liters in every monsoon season.

This is another example of having noble concern for water conservation. Though this residential complex has not having any water shortage, residents have understood the importance of water conservation and implemented the system for Brewell recharging.

Details of the system:

Roof area considered for rain water Harvesting = 5000 sq.ft i.e. 465 m2

Rain water harvesting application = Bore well recharging through ground water percolation.

Estimated rainwater availability (Considering 700 mm rainfall in a season)

=465 x700=3,25,500 liters in every monsoon season.

Details of the system:

Roof area considered for rain water Harvesting = 2200 sq.ft i.e. about 205 Sq.m

Rain water harvesting application = Bore Well Recharge.

Estimated rainwater availability (Considering 700 mm rainfall in a season)

=2 05 x700=1,43,500 liters in every monsoon season.

Details of the system:

Roof area considered for rain water Harvesting = 2200 sq.ft i.e. about 205 Sq.m

Rain water harvesting application = Water Tank Storage

Estimated rainwater availability (Considering 700 mm rainfall in a season)

=2 05 x700=1,43,500 liters in every monsoon season.

This system has been installed on 12th August 2003.From then onwards up till now, Yash Tower has not brought any water tanker.
