What is Rainwater Harvesting?1. RWH technology consists of simple
systems to collect, convey, and store rainwater. Rainwater capture is accomplished primarily from roof-top, surface runoff, and other surfaces.
2. RWH either captures stored rainwater for direct use (irrigation, production, washing, drinking water, etc.) or is recharged into the local groundwater and is called artificial recharge.
3. In many cases, RWH systems are used in conjunction with Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR). ASR is the introduction of RWH collected rainwater to the groundwater / aquifer through various structures in excess of what would naturally infiltrate then recovered for use

Why Rainwater Harvesting?1. Conserve and supplement existing water
resources 2. Available for capture and storage in most global
locations3. Potentially provide improved quality of water4. Supply water at one of the lowest costs possible
for a supplemental supply source. 5. Capturing and directing storm water (run-off)
and beneficially use it6. Commitment as a corporate citizen - showcasing
environmental concerns7. Public Mandate 8. Replenishing local groundwater aquifers .where
lowering of water tables has occured

Why Not RWH?Not applicable in all climate conditions over the worldPerformance seriously affected by climate fluctuations that
sometimes are hard to predictIncreasingly sophisticated RWH systems (ASR) necessarily
increases complexities in cost, design, operation, maintenance, size and regulatory permitting
Collected rainwater can be degraded with the inclusion of storm water runoff
Collected water quality might be affected by external factorsCollection systems require monitoring and continuous
maintenance and improvement to maintain desired water quality characteristics for water end-use
Certain areas will have high initial capital cost with low ROI

Rainfall Definitions
Intensity – Quantity per time of the rainfall event (mm/hour)
Duration – period of time for the rainfall event
Average Annual and Monthly Rainfall – Average rainfall over one year period and monthly intervals and usually based on 30 or more years of data

Ground Water Recharge
Under natural conditions it may take days to centuries to recharge ground water by rain water. As we need to replenish the pumped water, Artificial Recharge of Ground water is required at some locations.
