FAQ

Rainwater Harvesting is to save each drop of Rainwater falling on Roof or Surface for later usage or recharge.

Rain is fresh source of water that feeds our current sources of water like Rivers, lakes, Dams, Ground water.

Rainwater is pure, soft and fresh water. It has all important vitamins required for healthy life. Rainwater doesn’t have Hardness or TDS when captured directly.

Roof of 1200 Sq. Ft can save minimum 56,000 litres of pure water every year. At every rain, you will get approx 4000 litres of water.

For a family of 5 persons, you need to make Tank of 7500 litres capacity. Say L 2 mtr x W 2 mtr x D 2 mtr.

Give overflow from Drinking water tank to utility tank and connect overflow of utility tank to borewell. Once your Drinking water tank is full, you will get water in utility tank. Same way, if utility tank gets full, water will be recharged in your borewell.

No. Our Rooftop Rainwater filter doesn’t require human intervention. Harvesting will be done automatically.

You can easily drain out first rainfall with first flush arrangement given with our Rainwater filter.

Yes, Rooftop Rainwater from clean water outlet of the Rainwater filter can be directly sent to existing borewell.

No. Our Rainwater filter works of principle of gravity hence electricity is not required.

Our Rainwater filter works on the principle of gravity. So no other energy is required to harvest Rainwater.

Our filter element is made out of Nylon material hence it is 100% corrosion and contamination free.

Because our old techniques were complicated, labour intensive, expensive and needs maintenance. Thanks to Technological Advancements, Rainwater Harvesting has become easy, effective, economical, ready to use and requires no maintenance.

Yes, Rainwater after due filtration can be diverted to your existing tank. For that you need to connect clean water outlet from Rainwater filter to your existing tank.

Yes, you need to make separate tank for that. Also you must boil or pass rainwater through UV purifier before drinking or cooking.

For a 1200 Sq. Ft roof, total cost shall be around Rs. 15,000 including filter, plumbing items and labour. There is no other recurring cost involved. You will get lakhs of litres of fresh water every year.

By putting rainwater in Casing pipe of running borewell, TDS and Hardness of borewell water improves, water level rises up and borewell gets recharged for longer life.

You can save electricity bill of approx Rs. 8000 per month by replacing borewell water with Rainwater during Monsoon.

Yes, Our Rainwater filter is very simple yet scientific in design. Any local plumber can easily install within 2 to 3 hours.

You must plan underground tank at this stage. Also provide rainwater outlet closer to tank so that your plumbing cost would be minimum.

Rainwater is pure and soft water, when falls on Roof it accumulates some TDS. Rainwater flowing from clean roof has less than 100 TDS.

We get about 40 Lakh Billion Litres of fresh Rainwater in India every year.

In India, we are able to hold only 8% Rainwater. It flows out in Oceans, Rivers, Dams and Drains; before reaching to Groundwater bank.

Groundwater is huge reserve of water situated in Mother Earth. We are all surviving on this water for 80% of our requirement since ages.

The Chlola Kings, dating back to the 11th century. A 16 km long tank was constructed to harvest and use Rainwater.

In many parts our country groundwater is found contaminated with Arsenic, Flouride, Iron, Nitrate and at some places Uranium also. THIS IS A DANGER SIGN.

We all are responsible. It’s mainly due to continuous over exploitation and increasing number of borewells across the country. We all have work collectively towards saving our precious Groundwater reserve.

1. Ground Water 2. Surface water 3. Municipal water 4. Rainwater

Surface water is water that flows or stored on ground like Rivers, Lakes, Reservoirs, Dams, Streams, and Wetlands.

Water supplied by Government Utility through Tap connections in house hold or community. At present only 20% of rural holds have Piped water connection in India.

Rainwater is the fundamental source of water that feeds both Ground water and Surface water. Rain is pure & soft fresh water gifted by God to live water secure life.

Ground Water. India is the largest user of Groundwater for irrigation, industrial and domestic applications for years together.

Yes, about 54% of groundwater wells are decreasing year. Another problem is Ground water is getting contaminated due to over extraction.

Our consumption pattern is : 76% for Agriculture, 13% for Industry and 11 % for Domestic use.

Ground water is just 11% of total fresh water available up to depth of 800 Meters

63% of irrigation and over 80% of the rural and urban domestic water comes from ground water. That’s why we must protect our groundwater sources.

Annually 25% of the global groundwater is pumped out by India.

5 of the world’s 20 largest cities under severe water stress; are in India.

Pollution of Rivers, Rough use of precious water treating it as an open and endless commodity, lack of awareness among society to use and recharge Rainwater as one of the source of water.

There are two methods to save rainwater for later use.

1) Rainwater storage on ground

2) Rainwater storage underground ( Recharge to sub surface)

It’s collection, filtration and storage of rainwater on surface. It is traditional method where underground tanks, reservoirs, lakes and check dams etc like structures are used.

It is an advance concept of Rainwater harvesting. Here structures used are Injection recharge wells, rooftop bore-well recharge, hand pump recharge, Lake water recharge, dug well recharge, lateral shafts, spreading techniques, inter water shed transfer recharge, connected wells etc.

Because our 65% of irrigation water and 85% of drinking water comes from Groundwater. If we don’t replenish, almost 60% of groundwater resources will be in a critical state of degradation within next twenty years.

One of the measurements indicate an average Groundwater decline of 33 cm per year from 2002 onwards.

Yes, Rainwater remains fresh whole year. Only thing you need to ensure is Tank must be zero light, that means Sunlight must not enter the tank.

We use around 25% of Groundwater extracted globally. With population that is three times of the US and one-third of size, India is ahead of US in ground water extraction.

We use approx 260 cubic km per year and that makes us highest user of ground water in the world.

Grow your water, that means harvest fresh rainwater for daily use and send back excess rainwater to Aquifer for later use.

India’s 12% land is prone to flooding every year. Flooding results in huge National losses every year.

Per capita availability of water was 6042 Cum in 1947 which has declined to 1545 cum in 2011. At this rate it is projected that further decline will be at 1228 cum by 2051.

63% of Annual Groundwater Recharge is consumed in India.

Because 80% of rural and urban water supply is served by Ground water for many years.

We have World’s 18% population and 4% of water reserve ! It’s time to measure and conserve the treasure.
