ESTIMATION OF WATER DEMAND AND RAINWATER HARVESTING POTENTIAL IN THE CAMPUS OF SHRI SIDDARAMESHWAR EDUCATION TRUST BELAGAVI

CIVIL ENGINEERING

The study was aimed at designing a rooftop rainwater harvesting structure for the SSET’s Campus Belagavi, located in Karnataka state of India. Out of the possible catchment areas, the main building of all Institutes in the campus was selected as the required catchment area for rainwater harvesting considering the water demand in campus and the supply. It was observed from the analysis that implementation of RWH system in campus can resolve the water scarcity problems during non-monsoon season by storing a huge quantity. This initiative can increase the water supply for construction work, gardening and also will help in artificial recharge of ground water thus enriching both the surface and the ground water resources. Due to indiscriminate pumping of ground water, the project focuses on designing a tank to store rainwater from rooftop of the various building to cater the need of water requirement for Shri Siddarameshwar education trust Belagavi, Karnataka. The estimation of the appropriate size of the water tanks and their costs required to fulfil the annual drinking water demands through Domestic Rooftop Water Harvesting (DRWH) from rooftop of different areas are done. In this project an attempt has been made to calculate the quantity of water collected annually and provision also made for ground water recharge.
