Rain Water Harvesting Plan and Design for Mangalayatan University Campus, Aligarh” Uttar Pradesh, India”
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 4
Abstract
The technical aspect of this paper is rooftop rainwater harvesting which is considered to be catchment areas of Mangalayatan University Campus, Aligarh. The campus is situated at the distance of 39 km from Aligarh city in a large area of about 72 acres with strength of about 2700 students and more than 250 staff. Water is the natural resource which is being always in high demands by students and staff. If this demand is not met, then it will lead to water scarcity. Therefore, Rain water harvesting system can be considered as a best solution for fighting against scarcity of water. Moreover, owing to its simple techniques ease of construction and installation and low cost of investment, this technique again suites for implementation inside. The campus can meet potable and non potable water demands. The simple technique tends to increase the greenery in land and around the campus, increasing aesthetic factor for a proper residential institute to live in. Required data such as catchment areas, rainfall data, runoff groundwater condition etc. are collected and calculated. Then a recharge pit of suitable capacity and design is constructed. Optimum location of recharge pit was done using the hydrological analysis from the available data. The cost of the project is also calculated. In order to conserve the groundwater, this paper was found cost effective and very useful for recharging the groundwater. It is observed that this paper will also be a useful and valuable resource to other organizations which are planning to promote rainwater harvesting to supplement existing water systems. This paper will also raise awareness of the importance of rainwater harvesting for recharging ground water. The rain water harvesting in Mangalayatan University campus comprises numerous water collection and percolating pits at different locations. Therefore, keeping in mind all these positive aspects, Rain water Harvesting is highly recommended for Campus.
