Rain Water Harvesting Project for DACOE Campus
Abstract: This abstract details a rain water harvesting project implemented in DACOE Campus designed to enhance water security and sustainability. The project focuses on collecting rainwater from the rooftops of main college buildings, non construction area and directing it to a storage tank for later use, primarily for gardening and other utility purposes. The project aims to reduce reliance on groundwater, conserve water resources, and promote sustainable water management practices. We use advanced technology such as drone, total station, GIS software to conduct survey of DACOE college campus for making contour map for finding reduced level of campus to know the cross drainage for layout of the pipe and to know the location of water tank. We decide parking area as a location of water tank by using survey map. The topography of DACOE campus has steep slope. Hence, we collect rainwater near the parking. The soil in campus is rocky in nature. So, constructing water tank near parking area for capacity of 10 lakh liter with construction cost 3 lakh RS. This project will be useful to fulfil the water demands in dry period and to make sustainable use of water resource. This stored water can fulfil the demands.
