RURAL INDIA IS SCREAMING FOR WATER!
‘Water now precedes roti, kapda, aur makan’
2/3rds of the country has been declared drought prone
90,000 villages declared ‘no source villages’- no source within 7 km radius
Rajendra Singh, Tarun Bharat Sangh

Can Bore Wells Help ?
June 2004 – Musampally village Nalgonda DistrictAndhra Pradesh
Population 3000Land 2000 acresBore wells 6000
No typing mistake – There are 2 bore wells per person In this village. More than 85 % never struck water.Others dried up soon after drilling
![Page 11: Fundamentals of Rain Water Harvesting](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062409/568150f1550346895dbf0ae2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The Bore wells have worsened the matters
Instead of reducing scarcity, they are increasing it.
We have seen bore wells - 1500 ft deep and drying
Big dams and diversion canals are making down stream older river courses dry
The Bore Wells and The Big Dams
are the real culprits

There is certainly need for doing everything
possible for conserving water

Where can we learn about water harvesting ?
What are the basic rules?
The Fundamentals ?

It is available every where
In the most pure form
It is free
Yet
There is scarcity

Ancient India was Prosperous because of Ponds and Lakes Made and Managed by People
Thus achieving water security, irrigation, flood control and food security
Wise Water Management of our ancestors

WHAT is Rainwater Harvesting?
Activity of capturing the rain and storing it for direct use or recharging into the groundwater.
Simply.. catching rain where it falls and using it.

How Much One Can harvest Rainwater ?
Vol RWH =A x R x C
A=Area
R= Rainfall in meters
C=Runoff coefficient
An example A =100 m2
R = 2000 millimeters C = 0.85
RWH = 1,70,000 litres

• Harvesting for future use - Storage in Soil
Roof as well as open areas act as catchment surfaces.
Inter particular spaces in soil / rocks are used for storing water.
Water is channeled to structures made for enhanced percolation of the harvested rain water into soil layers
Usage – through Dug wells or bore wells

If you want to harvest rain water in industrial setting
Take care not to mix it in any way with toxic chemicals, industrial effluents, sewage etc
Allow first flush rain water to go out of the collection system
