    Planning and designing of rainwater harvesting system in Graphic Era Hill University, Bhimtal
    (G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar - 263145 (Uttarakhand), 2017-07) Mohit Kumar; Pravendra Kumar
    Water is the most precious natural resource and a universal asset. With the increasing population and global change, rainwater conservation have become worldwide focal issues, particularly in the water stressed regions. Rainwater harvesting, based on the collection and storage of rainfall, has been widely used for domestic use and agricultural production in hilly areas. It has advantages of simple operation, high adaption, low cost and maintenance. The present study was conducted at Graphic Era Hill University, Bhimtal, Uttarakhand, keeping in view the importance of rainwater harvesting. The rainwater was harvested from roofs of the hostel, canteen and surrounding land surface area. The rainfall data of last 40 years was analyzed to determine the probability of occurrence. The optimum size of the tank is selected based on the water budgeting analysis of average monthly rainfall data. The results show that rectangular R.C.C. tank of sizes 55.62 m3 for boys hostel, 34.83 m3 for new boys and girls hostels and 122.36 m3 for happy zone are suitable on the basis of demand and availability of water. The cost of construction of tank of size 55.62 m3 for boys hostel is Rs 155035.98, of size 34.83 m3 for new boys and girls hostels is Rs 129901.13 and of size 122.36 m3 for happy zone (canteen) is Rs 295610.82 and for recharge pit is Rs 514877.6. The annual availability of water through roof-top water harvesting is 20703.23 m3, out of which 13350 m3 is used for domestic purpose and 17857.46 m3 is used for ground water recharge. The total cost of the system is Rs 4963853.93 which includes cost of guttering, conveyance, distribution of water and maintenance of the system till the end of the life of system (25 years). The B-C ratio and Pay-back period for harvesting systems of boys hostel, new boys and girls hostels, and both for hostels and canteen are found to be 0.96, 3.16 and 1.8, and 25 years, 7.88 years and 13.20 years, respectively.
