❑Basic Components
Since the use of the harvested water is located close to the collection
source, this reduces the energy use required to move water around our
cities.
Rainwater harvesting can reduce storm water pollution, lessening its
impact on our local watersheds.
❑ PROCESS
A rainwater harvesting system has three main stages:
1. Collecting & transporting rainwater: This is done through
catchment areas & conduits. The catchment of a water harvesting
system is the surface which receives rainfall directly. It can be a paved
area like the terrace or courtyard of a building. Conduits are the
pipelines that carry rainwater from the catchment or rooftop to the
harvesting system.
2. Filtration: A filter unit is a chamber filled with filtering media to
remove debris and dirt from water before it enters the storage tank or
recharge structure.
3. Storage in tanks for reuse / Recharging the groundwater
levels: The harvested water can now be stored in storage tanks for
immediate usage, which are designed according to the water
requirements of the society. Existing non-potable water storage tanks in
the society can also be used to store the harvested rainwater.
❑ BUSINESS MODELS
• Rainwater harvesting is a unique and innovative business that can be
started by young entrepreneurs. The process of rainwater harvesting is a
technically proven system to collect and store rainwater in natural
reservoirs or tanks. There are two processes to store rainwater. Rooftop
harvesting is the most popular way among the urban population. Here I
have discussed some basic components of rooftop rainwater harvesting.
These are as follows:
➢ Catchment
• In the most basic form of this technology, rainwater is collected
in simple vessels at the edge of the roof. Variations on this basic
approach include the collection of rainwater in gutters which
drain to the collection vessel through downpipes constructed for
this purpose, and/or the diversion of rainwater from the gutters to
containers for settling particulates before being conveyed to the
storage container for the domestic use.
➢ Transportation
• Rainwater from a rooftop should be carried through down-take
water pipes or drains to the storage/harvesting system. Water
pipes should be UV resistant (ISI HDPE/PVC pipes) of the
required capacity. Water from sloping roofs could be caught
through gutters and down take the pipe. At terraces, the mouth of
each drain should have wire mesh to restrict floating material.
➢ First Flush
• A first flush device is a valve that ensures that runoff from the
first spell of rain is flushed out and does not enter the system.
This needs to be done since the first spell of rain carries a
relatively larger number of pollutants from the air and catchment
surface.
➢ Filter
• The filter is used to remove suspended pollutants from rainwater
collected from the roof. A filter unit is a chamber filled with
filtering media such as fibre, coarse sand, and gravel layers to
remove debris and dirt from the water before it enters the storage
tank or recharge’s structure.
Rain chains are not only beautiful, simple to make requiring few
tools and materials, but also a more attractive alternative to
standard PVC (polyvinyl chloride) pipe downspouts. These funs,
fashionable and environment-friendly accessories help avoid the
runoff by transporting rainwater from the collecting pipe
downwards to a drain or to a storage container.
❑ Product Sell
❖ MARKETING IDEAS: -
To promote and sell in multiple marketplaces. In the current
situation, it is easy for an e-commerce store to launch a multi-
channel sales strategy to market a product across different
platforms.
To use product recommendations, For e-commerce stores we can
use the shopping experience for product promotions.
Make use of google My Business, this can be useful to promote
new product by using google My Business.
By the help of email marketing, it is very helpful to market the
product. Create Value-Packed Infographics: - Infographics are
powerful for two reasons. First, in this fast-paced age, text is no
longer the preference of most people.
Second, imagery often has a stronger pull and impact than text
alone. By creating infographics, you can impart valuable
information to your audience.
❖ ESTABLISHING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE
PROJECT AT SITE: -
For the implementation of the project the garden or home,
suitable for pedestrian or vehicle loading areas is suitable.
Rainwater harvesting can be implemented by any person who is
building a house or who already has a house and has space to set
up the system. It is mandatory for houses who own 2400sq ft. and
above or who wish to build house on an area of 1200sq ft. and
above to install rainwater harvesters in their houses.
❖ ADVERTISING AND DEVELOPING BUSINESS IN
INDIA: -
The Indian advertising industry has evolved from being a small-
scaled business to a full-fledged industry. The advertising
industry is projected to be the second fastest growing advertising
market in Asia after China. It is estimated that by 2018, the share
of ad spend in India’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) will be
around 0.45 per cent. The Indian government has given
tremendous support to the advertising and marketing industry.
Advertising expenditure is likely to increase in the financial
sector, driven by Reserve Bank of India (RBI) policies which
could result in a more favourable business environment. Also,
proposed licences for new banks and better market sentiments
render the advertising and marketing industry in India a fertile
space.
❖ Market size
Print contributes a significant portion to the total advertising
revenue, accounting for almost 41.2 per cent, whereas TV
contributes 38.2 per cent, and digital contributes 11 per cent of
the total revenue. Outdoor, Radio and Cinema make up the
balance 10 per cent.
India’s digital advertisement market is expected to grow at a
compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 33.5 percent to cross
the Rs 25,500 crore (US$ 3.8 billion) mark by 2020.
The Internet's share in total advertising revenue is anticipated to
grow twofold from eight per cent in 2013 to 16 per cent in 2018.
Online advertising, which was estimated at Rs 2,900 crore (US$
435 million) in 2013, could jump threefold to Rs 10,000 crore
(US$ 1.5 billion) in five years, increasing at a compound annual
rate of 28 per cent.
❑ Recent Developments
GroupM, the US-based advertising media company, has acquired a
majority stake in Mediacom India, a joint venture between GroupM India
and Madison Media group's principal shareholder Sam Balsara, for an
undisclosed amount.
Flipkart, India's largest e-commerce marketplace has re-entered the private
label business by launching Smart Buy, with a view to boost earnings and
fill gaps in its product selection.
Google is all set to help India implement Prime Minister Mr Narendra
Modi's "Digital India" initiative and the government has a well laid out
plan to realise it, said Google's Chief Internet Evangelist Mr Vinton G.
Cerf. Digital India is Rs 1.13 trillion (US$ 16.95 billion) government
initiative that seeks to transform the country into a connected economy,
attract investment in electronics manufacturing, and create millions of jobs
and support trade.
❑ Government Initiatives
The Governments of India and Canada have signed an audio-visual co-
production deal which facilitates producers from both countries to harness
their collective artistic technical, financial and marketing resources, and
encourage exchange of culture and art between the two countries. The
agreement is also likely to lead to better promotion of Indian locales for
shooting films. "The agreement will also lead to the transparent funding of
film production and boost export of Indian films into the Canadian market,"
as per the agreement.
India and Poland are seeking to enhance cooperation in the digitisation and
restoration of film archives. This was decided in a meeting between Mr
Bimal Julka, Secretary of Information and Broadcasting, India, and a
delegation from Poland led by Ms Malgorzata Omilanowska, Secretary of
State. The two countries will form a joint working group that will help
improve cooperation in fields such as student exchange programmes,
animation, films and digitisation, among others. Mr Rajyavardhan Singh
Rathore, Minister of State for Information & Broadcasting, has announced
that Indian government has planned to increase advertising spend on the
digital platform which will help increase the government’s presence in
digital media.
❑ Road Ahead
The advertising and marketing sector in India is expected to enjoy a
good run. Growth is expected in retail advertisement, on the back of
factors such as several players entering the food and beverages segment,
e-commerce gaining more popularity in the country, and domestic
companies testing out the waters. The rural region is a potentially
profitable target. For instance, in the automobiles sector, the focus of
two-wheelers on rural areas could mean more launches and more
advertising spends. The telecom sector could see growth as well, driven
by better smartphone penetration and service providers cutting down on
prices.
❑ Process of the Product:
Water scarcity is a serious problem throughout the world for both urban
and rural communities.
Urbanization, industrial development and increase in agricultural field
and production has resulted in overexploitation of surface water
resources and resultant deterioration in water quality.

❑ Conclusion
Experience Given by All the Team Members –
My overall experience about the project is good. When we started
working on the project, I think it was very difficult but with the
guidance of Abha Mam and the help of the group members it became
easier for us. Ma’am helps us in every situation and guides us on
how to act. We learned a lot at the end of the project. I’ve learnt a
lot of things about myself while working with my group members in
undertaking this project and also found that I am capable of
achieving almost anything if I put my soul and heart into it. Working
in teams can make work a lot easier.
By engaging myself into a group, I increased my involvement in the
project, put in more effort, and became more oriented in completing
the group’s task. I like the fact that the amount of work in a group is
divided fairly and evenly for each member so that the work is done
in a timely manner and efficiently as possible. With group work, I’ve
been learning more in less amount of time and also enabling myself
to check on everybody’s progress to see if anybody needs help. One
of the major challenges of completing the assignment was finding
the right type of articles in terms of clear context and topic. Many
research methods and resources were used to locate the appropriate
articles and it was something which wasn’t easy at all. Working in
groups made this assignment easy to finish and meeting up its
deadline just in time.
Overall, internship is a really good program and recommended to
my fellow friends. It was really fun and it really encouraged us. It
helps to enhance and develop my skills, abilities, and knowledge
about the Rain Water Harvesting. It was a good experience and
memories as not only I have gained experience, but also new friends
and knowledge.
In conclusion the student benefited a lot in the field attachment in a
way that the student managed to apply the theoretical knowledge as
well as practical knowledge regarding the Rainwater Harvesting
from the university into practice through the many activities which
we were instructed to do.
We improved the skills like interpersonal, listening, presentation
skills, acting freely around people, typing skills, accounting,
recording, presentation, typing, conflict resolution, organizational
skills to mention but a few. The student got different ideas from the
different people and also through interacting with other people from
GSFC University and this contributed a lot on the knowledge and
experience of rainwater Harvesting.
We learned so many new things regarding rainwater Harvesting like
how Rainwater Harvesting is important to us, what are the different
techniques of Rainwater Harvesting, how can we implement it, etc.
On the whole, this internship was a useful experience.
This internship has been an excellent and rewarding experience. I
can conclude that there have been a lot I’ve learnt from my work at
Cemosis. Needless to say, the technical aspects of the work I’ve
done are not flawless and could be improved provided enough time.
As someone with no prior experience with Node.js whatsoever I
believe my time spent in research and discovering it was well worth
it and contributed to finding an acceptable solution to build a fully
functional web service. Two main things that I’ve learned the
importance of our time-management skills and self-motivation.
First of all, I am very grateful to Ma’am for giving us such a great
opportunity. Internship provides a great deal, major advantage. It
reveals my standard concerning skills and competence on the
intellectual's scene.
According to the considerable task that I did, I got the experience
and lots of knowledge. It is also important to remember that the
internship reveals the various challenges and realities of the
professional work in which I will enter in coming days.
Internship helps me to improve my qualifications such as
communication skills, report writing, organization at work,
information required to do a work and also a research paper.
My experience in this project was good. I have learned a lot of things
while working on this project. I felt very easy in doing the project
with the guidance of Dr Abha Ma’am and with the help of the group
members. With the equal division of the work made it easy to submit
it on time. I also experienced and gained some knowledge through
this project.
This project rainwater harvesting has given me many benefits from
using group work as part of teaching and learning activities in this
project. Working in teams can make work a lot more easily leading
to an involving and satisfying experience for students. By engaging
myself into a group, I increased my involvement in the project, put
in more effort, gained greater satisfaction and became more oriented
in completing the group’s task. Also, working in groups can be
challenging at times and it demands a set of skills. With this project,
gained fair knowledge about the way task-oriented groups work and
what complexity it involves. At first, it was hard for me to
understand the whole process of team work and the amount of
communication skills it involved but by undertaking this project in
groups, I have certainly developed a stronger sense of obligation
amongst the members and increased pressure towards the
completion of the task.
In conclusion, rain water harvesting project has given me a new
insight about group work with an opportunity of learning group
skills. These skills promoted my self-independence and less
dependence on teachers.
I would like to say that my overall experience about the internship
was good. I got to new things. As a group leader I had lot of
responsibilities. With the help of ma'am and my co- partners. I was
able to do it.
