Rainwater Harvesting

Water scarcity is one of the growing concerns of the present times, the only solution for which is water conservation. Water conservation is implemented on different levels in the college from rain water harvesting, tree plantation to maintain the underground water levels to recycling the water for gardening purposes and many more. Rainwater harvesting is a conservation process used for many drives and for the future needs. The college has set-up the rain harvesting unit in different niches within the college campus, guest house and hostels, which has the total storage capacity of up to 44 lakh litres. The conserved rain water serves as a secondary source of water. The college adapted several rain water harvesting methods according to the government norms and terms which include rainwater barrels, roof-top harvesting units and surface run-off rainwater harvesting. The rainwater that flows off in the college areas are collected and stored to recharge the groundwater level. Harvested rain water is filtered through several layers of mesh or strainer fixed across the inlet to the storage system and is cleaned on a regular basis. The rain water set-up units satiate the requirements of water for the entire college.
