It
is high time now to fall for surface water usage instead of going for ground
water resources to meet human needs. Rainwater harvesting is an important
environment friendly approach, dubbed as a Green Practice, having double
benefit, in keeping the groundwater table undisturbed and charging the aquifer.
The increasing urbanization led to concentrated population density at places
resulting into uneven drawing of ground water. This is ensuing into draught and
drying up of river beds at places where domestic and industrial use of water is
rising. This shift of the focus, towards using rainwater, the groundwater may
gradually fall back to its normal level thus ensuring the eco-balance. As an
initiative for the same the Agriculture Engineering department of Gandhi
Institute For Technology, Bhubaneswar has successfully installed a Rooftop
Rainwater Harvesting System in the main building on 18th of January,
2022. The event took place in the presence of Er. Susant Kishore Pattanaik Executive
Director, Ground Water Survey and Investigation (GWS&I), Govt. of Odisha, Unit-8,
Bhubaneswar, Principal, Dr. Ch V S Parameswara Rao, GIFT, BBSR, Dr. Satyananda Swain,
Head AGE Dept., Gayatri Mohanty, Assistant Professor, AGE dept. and Sushree
Monali, Assistant Professor, AGE dept. in association with a few student
volunteers namely Truptimayee Dash, Priyanka
Choudhury, Sourav Ranjan Mohapatra of 7th and 8th
semester of Agril. Department. The collection
depends on several considerations. Collection efficiencies of 80% are often
used depending on the specific design. The roof run off water will be collected
through a pipe line network and stored in a recharge pit (diameter of 5ft. and
depth 10 ft.) nearby. This will definitely help the increase in the level of
ground water.
