Types of Rain water harvesting Systems for residential, commercial, hotel, resort, villa, bungalow, hospital structures.
Rooftop Rainwater Harvesting: This is the most common method where rainwater is collected from the roof of a building. The rainwater flows through gutters and downspouts into a storage system.
Surface Runoff Harvesting: In areas where there is no roof or the roof area is insufficient, surface runoff harvesting can be used. This method involves capturing rainwater from paved surfaces such as roads, driveways, or courtyards, and directing it into storage systems or infiltration pits.
In-Ground Storage Systems: These systems involve excavating the ground to create storage structures such as underground tanks or cisterns. Rainwater is collected from the roof or other surfaces and stored underground for later use.
Above-Ground Storage Systems: This method involves installing above-ground storage tanks or barrels to collect and store rainwater. These systems are usually simpler and less expensive to implement compared to underground storage.
Percolation Pits: Percolation pits, are constructed in the ground to allow rainwater to infiltrate into the soil. The pits are filled with layers of gravel or other porous materials to facilitate the percolation of water into the groundwater table.
Recharge Wells: Recharge wells are vertical structures drilled into the ground to allow rainwater to directly recharge the groundwater. The wells are typically lined with permeable materials to prevent soil erosion.
Check Dams or Contour Bunds: These are structures built across natural drainage paths to slow down the flow of rainwater and encourage infiltration. The check dams or contour bunds help retain water, allowing it to recharge the soil and replenish groundwater.
