Case: Industry: RWH Potential as a % of Annual Demand
● Daily Demand = 15 KL (500 people x 30 lpcd)
● Annual Demand = 5475 KL (15 x 365)
● Total Campus = 3000sqm (~ 30,000sqft)
● Rooftops = 1500 sqm (50% of total area)
● RWH potential from rooftop = 733 KL (1500* 0.8 * 0.611 )
● Other Paved + Unpaved Areas = 1500 sqm
● RWH potential from non rooftops = 275 KL (1500×0.3×0.611)
● RWH Potential as a % of Annual Demand = 18% (733+275)/5475

Procedure • Locate recharge well in the channel or off
the channel
• Make arrangements to remove silt and leaves before water enters recharge well
• Monitor the rate of recharge and decide on the number of recharge wells necessary for the catchment

Planning for RWH
Nature of Surface RWH Strategy
Rooftop Storage or Deep Aquifer Recharge
Paved Area / Roads Shallow Recharge – through trenches, Open Wells
Unpaved Areas / Garden
Shallow Recharge – through trenches, Open Wells
![Page 58: Rainwater harvesting tirupur - Version 1](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032620/55cb28c1bb61eb54218b467d/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Sizing the RWH Structures
For Storage :
● Depending on usage and budget● Best to use existing storage structures● New storage structures can be sized for 30mm to 60mm rain
For Recharge : ● Calculate runoff for a 25mm-30mm rain and size accordingly
![Page 59: Rainwater harvesting tirupur - Version 1](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032620/55cb28c1bb61eb54218b467d/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Designing
● Plot Size : 3000sqm
● Rooftop : 1500sqm,
● Non Rooftop : 1500sqm
● Rooftop Storage : 1500 litres filter and 36KL to 72KL storage
OR
● Rooftop Deep Aquifer Recharge :
● Non Rooftop 1500sqm – basic filters in drains and 1 recharge well or 5ft diameter and 30ft deep or Recharge Trench of 20KL capacity

Maintenance
● Keep the terrace/campus clean● Clean Storm water drains● Dont let water stagnate anyplace● Clean out the filters 2 times during the year● Clean the storage tank
![Page 62: Rainwater harvesting tirupur - Version 1](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032620/55cb28c1bb61eb54218b467d/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Best Practices
● Metering the borewell
● Water Balance – Metering Demand and Supply
● Setup Rain Gauge
● Metering the harvested rainwater
![Page 63: Rainwater harvesting tirupur - Version 1](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032620/55cb28c1bb61eb54218b467d/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)

Monitoring
● Water Quality
● Water Availability
● Depth to Water (below ground level)
● If the water is actually going into the borehole (rate of recharge) !!.
