A short film on Rainwater Harvesting
water problem
From a per capita annual average of 5,177 cubic metre in 1951, fresh water availability in India dropped to 1,820 cubic metre in 2001. That by 2025, it will be 1,340 cubic metre approximately. Already, the potential of most river basins is being exploited beyond 50 per cent and several basins are considered to be water scarce. Over 80 per cent of the domestic water supply in India is dependent on groundwater. However, groundwater is fast depleting. Water tables have fallen significantly in most areas and there is a significant pollution of groundwater from natural as well as man-made sources.
testimonials
Ruby Hall Clinic and Nursing school
Before we adopted the rainwater harvesting (RWH) system, we were hiring up to 900 tankers per year. Last year in the summer our bawli (a 100 year-old well) went dry. This year, it is full. We attribute it to the RWH system.
RWH is a community service. Even though the water that goes into aquifers through your borewell may benefit someone else, it shows you tangible results. As a social responsibility all hospitals should undertake the system.
The RWH System was installed by Parjanya RWH Consultancy, Pune.
Col(Retd) RL Sharma
Administrator
Landmark Garden Co-op Hsg Society
After two years of project's implementation, the society has seen a considerable reduction in number of tankers they need to buy.
The members saved an average of Rs 13,000 to Rs 50,000 per month in the first year.
Our Payback period was just one year.
The maintenance of dewas filter used by Parjanya in the system is very negligible.
