Components of deepleen Rainwater Harvesting System
The basic components of roof top rainwater harvesting system are
Catchment
The surtace that receives rainfall directly is the catchment of rainwater harvesting system. It is terrace in our case. The terrace may be flat RCC/stone roof or sloping root.
Transportation
Rainwater from rooftop should be carried through down take water pipes or drains to storage harvesting system. At terraces, mouth of the each drain should have wire mesh to restrict floating material.
First Flush
It is a device used to flush-off the water received in first shower. The first shower of rains needs to be flushedoff to avoid contaminating storable/rechargeable water by the probable contaminants of the atmosphere and also help in cleaning of silt and other material deposited on roof during dry seasons.
Filters
This is used for treatment of water to effectively remove turbidity, debris and microorganisms. After first flushing of rainfall, water should pass through filters. The basic function of RWH Filter is to purify water continuously during rain with the help of stainless steel mesh.
First Flush System
- Restricts initial dust particles present on the roottop
- No accumulation of acid rain in the storage area
- Increases the filter life as first flush eliminates the major dust particles
Cartridge
- Comprises of 240 micron S.S mesh
- Rust proot and thereby increases longevity
- Easy to clean and maintain
Easy Maintenance
01
Open the
filter end cap
02
Take out the SS cartridge
from the filter case
03
Wash the cartridge
with water
04
Place cartridge back in the filter case and close end cap tightly
Do's and Don'ts
Harvested rainwater is used for direct usage or for recharging aquifers.
Following precautionary measures should be taken while harvesting rainwater
- Roof or terraces used for harvesting should be clean, free from dust, algal plants etc.
- Roof should not be painted since most paints contain toxic substances and may peel off
- Do not store chemicals, rusting iron, manure or detergent on the roof
- Nesting of birds on the roof should be prevented
- Terraces should not be used for toilets either by human beings or by pets
- Provide gratings at mouth of each drainpipe on terraces to trap leaves debris and floating materials
- Provision of first rain separator should be made to flush off first rains
- Filter media should be cleaned before every monsoon season
- During rainy season, the whole system (root catchment, pipes, screens, first flush, filters, tanks) should be checked
Benefits of Rainwater Harvesting
Rainwater harvesting in urban and rural areas offers several benefits
- Rainwater is a relatively clean and free source of water
- Rainwater harvesting provides a source of water at the point where it is needed
- It is owner-operated and managed
- It is socially acceptable and environmentally responsible
- It promotes self-sufficiency and conserves water resources
- Rainwater is friendly to landscape plants and gardens
- It reduces stormwater runoff and non-point source pollution
- It uses simple, flexible technologies that are easy to maintain
- Offers potential cost savings especially with rising water costs
- Construction, operation and maintenance are not labour-intensive
