Rainwater Harvesting

Keep the Rain That Falls on Your Site.

Rainwater harvesting collects the rain from your roofs and paved areas, filters it, and stores it for use or sends it back into the ground to recharge the water table.

Sized to Your Site

We size each system to your roof and paved area and the local rainfall record, so the tank and recharge pits match the water you can realistically catch.

Where It Fits

Campuses, schools and hostels with large roofs
Government and public buildings
Housing and townships
Factories and warehouses
Areas where groundwater levels are falling

Your roof is already a catchment

A 500 M² Roof Can Catch 40 Tankers of Water a Year.

Every 1 mm of rain on 1 m² of roof is 1 litre. Most of it runs into the drain within minutes.

Illustrative: 500 m² roof × 1,000 mm of rain a year × 80% captured = 4 lakh litres. We calculate yours from local rainfall records.

40tankers a yearEach drop is one 10,000-litre tanker.

  • Courtyards waterlogged
  • Tanker bills every dry month
  • Borewells going deeper
  • Stored rain for gardens and flushing
  • Groundwater recharged on site
  • Less waterlogging

Myth vs fact

Why Sites Skip It, and Shouldn’t

MythWe don’t get enough rain to bother.

Every 1 mm on 1 m² of roof is 1 litre. It adds up fast.

MythHarvested rain is only for drinking.

Use it for gardens, flushing and cleaning, or recharge the ground.

MythIt needs a big new tank.

Overflow can go straight into recharge pits under your site.

How it works

From Roof to Tank to Ground

  1. Roof and pavingRain collected from what you have.
  2. First flushThe dirtiest rain is diverted.
  3. FilterLeaves and silt removed.
  4. StoreClean rain fills a tank.
  5. RechargeOverflow soaks back into the ground.

Made for

Made for Large Roofs and Paved Areas

Campuses, schools and hostelsLarge roofs, steady demand.
Government and public buildingsOften required by building bye-laws.
Housing and townshipsLess waterlogging, more groundwater.
Factories and warehousesWide roofs that waste the rain.
Areas with falling groundwaterRecharge where it is needed most.
TownshipsPlanned in from the start.

Timing

The best time to build is before the monsoon.

How long installation takes depends on the roof area, the storage and any recharge pits. You get a timeline with the design, so the system is ready before the rain.

Looking After It

Gutters and filters need a clean before each monsoon. We can include it in a maintenance plan.

Questions

Can harvested rainwater be used for drinking?
Not without further treatment. Harvested rainwater is meant for uses that are not drinking, or for recharging the ground.
Is rainwater harvesting mandatory?
Many states and cities require it for new buildings above a certain size. Check your local building bye-laws, or ask us.
