Abstract:
Ever increasing shortage of water particularly for industries in the urban areas has prompted to undertake studies on feasibility of rooftop and runoff rainwater harvesting (RWH) system. A typical industrial establishment was selected for a study, for this rooftop area, paved area and drainage system was selected. Total rooftop surface available was 53061 m2, paved open space was 54535 m2, area under plantation was 18750 m2. Estimated flow in the drain within plant area was 1.584 m3/sec. Rainfall pattern in Nagpur during the past 5 years was used to compute probable recoverable rainfall quantity. This period was selected because rainfall was below normal and would give minimum water quantity which could be available for harvesting. Geology, topography and other land features are proposed to be studied for suggesting i) Rainwater harvesting structures and ii) containing aquifers for groundwater recharge. This paper presents the feasibility study of rooftop and runoff rainwater harvesting system in a particular industry under study.
