Rainwater Harvesting in Bangalore: Sustainable Solutions by Varuna
Varuna – The Elixir of Life. Making Every Drop Count.
Water scarcity has become a pressing challenge in urban India, and Bangalore is no exception. With depleting groundwater levels and increasing population pressure, the city needs sustainable water solutions more than ever. Rainwater harvesting stands out as one of the most effective methods to conserve and reuse water. At Varuna, we specialize in designing and implementing comprehensive, eco-friendly, and cost-effective rainwater harvesting systems tailored for residential, commercial, and industrial use.
Why Rainwater Harvesting is Crucial in Bangalore
Bangalore receives a significant amount of rainfall annually, but much of it goes to waste due to inadequate infrastructure and poor planning. This loss directly contributes to water shortages, increased dependency on tanker water, and rapidly depleting aquifers.
Rainwater harvesting enables homes, layouts, and institutions to:
-
Reduce dependency on municipal water supply
-
Recharge groundwater levels
-
Lower water bills
-
Prevent waterlogging and urban flooding
-
Meet sustainability and green building standards

Water Quality Advantages
Rainwater, when harvested and stored properly, is one of the cleanest sources of water. Key benefits include:

-
Suitable for non-potable use: gardening, flushing, car washing, etc.
-
With advanced filtration, it can be made potable
Factors That Influence the Cost of Rainwater Harvesting Systems
-
Tank Size: Larger tanks cost more but store more water. Ideal capacity depends on roof area and average rainfall.
-
Material: RCC tanks are durable and long-lasting compared to plastic or metal tanks.
-
Filtration Units: Higher the quality, better the performance.
-
Installation Site: Complexity depends on terrain, accessibility, and whether the tank is underground or above ground.
-
Automation & Pumps: Additional features like automated filters and submersible pumps add to efficiency and cost.
