Rain Water Harvesting 9.8.2011 Dr. N. Sai Bhaskar Reddy CEO, GEO http://e-geo.org Centre for Cultural Resources Training (Ministry of Culture, Govt. of India), Hyderabad
Climate Changes in India ,[object Object]
Warming trend along the west coast, in central India, the interior peninsula, and northeastern India.
Cooling trend in northwest India and parts of South India.
Regional monsoon variations: increased monsoon seasonal rainfall along the west coast, northern Andhra Pradesh and North-western India, decreased monsoon seasonal rainfall over eastern Madhya Pradesh, North-eastern India, and parts of Gujarat and Kerala.3
Climate Changes in India ,[object Object]
Studies have shown a rising trend in the frequency of heavy rain events and decrease in frequency of moderate events over central India from 1951 to 2000.
Records of coastal tide gauges in the north Indian ocean for the last 40 years has revealed an estimated sea level rise between 1.06-1.75 mm per year.
The available monitoring data on Himalayan glaciers indicates recession of some glaciers.4

RECHARGE WELLS While it would normally take between 20-30 years for water to percolate 100 feet from an open tank, it has been noticed in an open well 300,000 litres can percolate to the same depth within a week. The Barefoot College, Tilonia

INDIA’S LAND RESOURCE, IRRIGATION  AND FOOD PRODUCTION ,[object Object]
 Geographical area = 329 Mha of which 47% (142 Mha) is cultivated, 23% forested, 7% under non-agri use, 23% waste.
 Per capita availability of land 50 years ago was 0.9 ha, could be only 0. 14 ha in 2050.uk-energy-saving.com
Out of cultivated area, 37% is irrigated which produces 55% food; 63% is rain-fed producing 45% of 200 M t of food.  In 50 years (ultimate), proportion could be 50:50 producing 75:25 of 500 M t of required food.

What Is Rainwater Harvesting? RWH technology consists of simple systems to collect, convey, and store rainwater. Rainwater capture is accomplished primarily from roof-top, surface runoff, and other surfaces.   RWH either captures stored rainwater for direct use (irrigation, production, washing, drinking water, etc.) or is recharged into the local ground water and is call artificial recharge.  In many cases, RWH systems are used in conjunction with Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR).  ASR is the introduction of RWH collected rainwater to the groundwater / aquifer through various structures in excess of what would naturally infiltrate then recovered for use
Why Rainwater Harvesting? Conserve and supplement existing water resources  Available for capture and storage in most global locations Potentially provide improved quality of water Supply water at one of the lowest costs possible for a supplemental supply source.  Capturing and directing storm water (run-off) and beneficially use it  Commitment as a corporate citizen - showcasing environmental concerns Public Mandate (India) Replenishing local ground water aquifers where lowering of water tables has occured
Why Not RWH? Not applicable in all climate conditions over the world Performance seriously affected by climate fluctuations that sometimes are hard to predict Increasingly sophisticated RWH systems (ASR) necessarily increases complexities in cost, design, operation, maintenance, size and regulatory permitting Collected rainwater can be degraded with the inclusion of storm water runoff Collected water quality might be affected by external factors Collection systems require monitoring and continuous maintenance and improvement to maintain desired water quality characteristics for water end-use Certain areas will have high initial capital cost
