    This document summarizes the details of a rain water harvesting system for an area with a total size of 19461 square meters. It calculates the total annual rainfall as 700 mm, total runoff available as 8223.81 cubic meters per year, and that only runoff from rooftops and hard paved areas will be diverted to recharge pits. It determines that 6 recharge pits of specific dimensions will be used, and that the shallow aquifer covers 5838 square meters and can accommodate 1751.40 cubic meters of water annually. The conclusion is that for a region with rainfall only during the monsoon, it is more feasible to recharge groundwater through harvesting rather than surface storage.

    i) Average Annual Rainfall
    ii) Total Area
    iii) Water Available for recharge

    = 700 mm
    = 19461 sqm
    = 8223.81 cum/annum

    Only rain water from roof top and hard paving is diverted to recharge pits
    Total no. of Recharge pits are 6 nos. (As per Geologist Recommendation)
    Size of pit 2.50m dia x 3.0m depth with borewell upto 65 meter depth
    It is presumed that the area covered by shallow aquifer would be near about 30% underground
    which is = 19461 X 30% = 5838 sqm
    Pre & Post monsoon groundwater level fluctuation is considered as 10m
    Water that can be accomodated in aquifer = area of aquifer in sqm X water level
    fluctuation in the aquifer in mtr X specific capacity of aquifer
    Water that can be accomodated in aquifer = 5838 X 10 X 0.03 = 1751.40
    cum/annum
    As such the aquifer has the capacity to accommodate ater that can be
    accommodate 17.50 lakh liters of water
    In the region where total annual rainfall occurs only during 3 to 4 months of monsoon, the water
    collected during monsoon has to be stored throughout the year which means that huge volumes of
    storage container are required so it is feasible to use rain water to recharge ground water aquifers
    rather than for storage
    Note :- All areas considered for calculations shall be confirmed by Architect
