Planning and Implementation of Rain Water Harvesting System in MITE, Moodabidri, Karnataka-Geological and Hydrogeological in Puts Typical Analysis

Jayaprakash M C, Poorvi Shetty

Abstract


Water harvesting techniques had been evolved and developed centuries ago. Ground water resources occur in dynamic state and hence subjected to periodic changes. The development of ground water resource leads to changes in its regime and water quality, therefore planning for further development of the resource. The ground water resource development is urgent need by management planning and further validation using rain water harvesting technology to fulfill the present scarcity of safe and hygienic drinking water in both urban and rural areas. The average rainfall in and around  MITE, Dakshina Kannada is 3789 mm. Average rainy days are 126.In spite of copious rainfall, during summer season many parts of the district including MITE  face acute scarcity of water. Detailed geological, hydrogeological, structural studies were carried out in and around Mangalore Institute of Technology Engineering, Dakshina Kannada to locate suitable site for rain water harvesting technique. Site specific case study revealed rainwater harvesting using artificial recharge structure resulted for storage of sub surface water and caters requirements of the MITE Campus.
