INTRODUCTION

● India is the largest groundwater consumer in the world

● Much of water crisis in india is caused not by natural
disasters , but rather because of severe mismanagement
of water resources, poor governance and apathy about
the magnitude of crisis
 Did you know ?

● 3.575 million people die each year from water related disease
● 84% of water related death are in children ages 0-14
● 98% of water related deaths occur in the developing world
● 2.5 billion people lack access to improved sanitation, including
1.2 billion people who have no facilities at all
 How to increase ground water table

Here we use soak pit to increase the ground water table

but we discuss the another technique which is similar to
soak pit

● Rainwater harvesting

Rainwater harvesting is defined as the simple process or

method or technology which is used to conserve rainwater by
the process of storing, collecting , conveying and purifying of
rainwater that runs off from various surfaces for latter use
 Type of RWH structure to recharge the rainwater

The rainwater harvesting structure are scientifically designed designed along with filter
media that, a 6cum of trench or pit for the roof area of about 100 Sqm

1. Recharge of rainwater through pits or

trenches in the areas of top permeable
aquifers
2. Recharge of rainwater through
injection wells along with pit or
trench in the areas of top
impermeable aquifers
 Types of rainwater harvesting

7 types of the rainwater harvesting system

Water butt
Water butt Direct pumped
One of the most basic types of rainwater harvesting systems, water butt collects rainwater in a container from
natural rainfall and drain pipe. The collected pipe is used mainly for watering the garden.

Direct pumped

Most rainwater harvesting system needs pumps to transfer the collected rainwater from storage tanks to the
point of use. Submersible pumps are generally more efficient than suction pumps and do not suffer from the
same limitations.
Indirect pumped

This type of rainwater harvesting system doesn’t rely on gravity to supply water to the outlets. It
pumps the harvested water to a tank which can be at any level in the building. Furthermore, booster
pumps to adjust the flow and pressure requirements of the building.

Indirect gravity

This system ensures water is supplied to the outlets by the gravity alone for this harvested water is
first pumped to the header tank.

Gravity only

With such an arrangement, water can be collected only when collection tanks are located below the
level of gutter at higher than outlets which will be supplied. Here only power of gravity is needed.
Relations ponds

Relations ponds are used to collect surface runoff water and improve the quality of water by the
natural processes like sedimentation, decomposition, solar disinfection. This type of pond normally
has a mud bottom, but in some cases, it may be lined with concrete. It can also be used for
groundwater recharge, irrigation, or any other purpose other than potable uses.

In ground storage

Underground storage tanks are very popular in areas where the majority of rainfall occurs in the
single season. These underground tanks are insulated and have a very low rate of evaporation. In
addition, the water stored in these doesn’t freeze if it is buried below the frost line this is a huge
advantage that surface storage tanks do not offer. Underground tanks need to be connected to
electric pumps to ensure the supply of the stored water to the outlets.
 Mobile soak pit

Introduction
● It is used 15 high burden countries in sub saharan africa through the use
of proven malaria prevention and treatment measures
● After the spraying of insecticide on wall some personal protective
equipment (helmet,face shield , gloves, and boots) must be thoroughly
washed
● If not properly disposed of the wash water generated by this equipment
could pose a potential local surface or groundwater quality
Material required for construction
● Bucket (35x25cm in dia.)
● Foam mattress (counter shape)
● Nylon screen (qty. 3)
● Granulated activated charcoal (qty 6
to 7kg)
● Bit (for making hole)
● Mask and gloves (for safety)
