Overview

Karnataka gets a lot of rain each year. However, insufficient rainwater management causes water scarcity in districts like Ballari, Chitradurga, Koppal, and Raichur. In these regions, the typical rooftop wastes thousands of liters of drinkable, clean water. Households may reduce their dependency on outside resources and guarantee water availability all year round with efficient rooftop rainwater harvesting. A smart and effective solution created to meet this specific need is Varuna's QuickRWH.

The Quantity of Rooftop Rainwater Waste

In Karnataka, a 30 x 40 site (1,200 sq. ft.) could potentially collect about 70,000 liters of rainwater per year. Nevertheless, the majority of the water runs off rooftops and into drains, causing waterlogging, urban flooding, and lost utility. After that, households turn to costly tanker water and borewells.

An effective rainwater harvesting system designed for urban residential needs can break this cycle.

Understanding Water Use in the Home

An average individual drinks approximately 135 liters of water every day. That comes to almost 2 lakh liters a year for a family of four. At least a third of this demand can be satisfied with rooftop water alone if homes have efficient rainwater harvesting systems. Monthly expenses, groundwater extraction, and the carbon footprint related to water delivery are all greatly decreased as a result.

The Science Behind Rooftop Harvesting Potential

The Science Behind the Potential for Rooftop Harvesting

1. 111.5 m² is the rooftop area.
2. Rainfall average per year: 700 mm
3. The runoff coefficient is 0.9.
4. Approximately 70,245 liters of rainwater are collected annually.

When properly gathered and stored, this amount of water can support a variety of non-potable uses, including laundry, car washing, gardening, and toilet flushing. It can also be used for cooking and drinking with additional filtration.

Workflow and System Components

1. Gathering: Rainwater is gathered from the roof and sent down pipes.
2. Pre-filtration: Dust, leaves, and other debris are eliminated from the water by passing it through a mechanical filter.
3. Storage: A high-capacity precast RCC water tank holds the filtered water.
4. Utilization: Water is diverted to gardens, restrooms, or a purification facility so that it can be used for drinking.

Key Features of QuickRWH

Long-lasting Precast Concrete Water Tanks. Constructed from precast RCC, these tanks provide:

1. Fast Installation: In a day or two
2. Smart Design: Optimizes the potential for rainwater harvesting
3. Space optimization: Perfect for small urban residences
4. Customization: Adaptable to family requirements and rooftop sizes

Why Use Precast RCC Tanks?

Precast reinforced cement concrete (RCC) is used in the construction of the storage tanks used in QuickRWH. 

These tanks are:

1. Strongly constructed and enduring for more than a century
2. Able to withstand chemical damage, seepage, and corrosion
3. Able to hold large amounts (at least 50,000 liters)
4. Ideal for underground and above-ground installation
5. Installed with little downtime or civil work

Economic and Environmental Benefits

1. Water conservation: Decreases dependency on external sources.
2. Groundwater Recharge: Provides long-term aquifer recovery
3. Savings: Reduces water bills by up to 40% each month.
4. Reduces Urban Flooding: by Preserving Rainwater Before Runoff
5. Eco-Friendly: Encourages green certification and sustainable living
   

Installation and Support

Varuna's environmental engineering team in Bangalore provides support for QuickRWH. The procedure entails the following steps, from site evaluation to complete system installation:

1. Examining the site
2. Personalized design
3. Precast RCC tank delivery
4. Plumbing and filter setup
5. Last-minute testing and transfer
6. Annual maintenance contracts that are optional

Impact in the Real World

QuickRWH has been successfully implemented in a number of homes in water-scarce areas. The system has given families constant access to clean water for everyday use in areas where borewells have dried up and where tanker water is the only source of water. Property value and water security have also increased as a result.
