5) Rain Water Harvest - RWH

One of the most basic types of rainwater harvesting systems, water Butt, collects rainwater in a container from natural rainfall and/or drain pipes. The collected water is used mainly for watering the garden. TOI - For each square meter of area, we can collect about 1,000 liters of water per year. A house of 200 square meters area can conserve 200,000 liters of water every year. The normal consumption of a household is about 750 liters per day as per WHO norms. (273,750 liters per year) https://enduramaxx.co.uk/rainwater-calculator-water-catchment-calculator/ * 305mm =12 inch

Components

plain galvanised iron sheet (20 to 22 gauge)
Cut PVC pipes into two equal semi-circular channels.
gutter guard / separator
Conduits
Conduits are pipelines or drains that carry rainwater from the catchment area to the harvesting system. Conduits can be of any material like PVC or GI, materials.
First-flushing
A first flush device is a valve that ensures that runoff from the first spell of rain is flushed out and does not enter the system.
Filtration unit
In a simple sand filter that can be constructed domestically, the top layer comprises coarse sand followed by a 5-10 mm layer of gravel followed by another 5-25 cm layer of gravel and boulders.

Rain Garden

A rain garden is a garden of native shrubs, perennials, and flowers planted in a small depression, which is generally formed on a natural slope. It is designed to temporarily hold and soak in rain water runoff that flows from roofs, driveways, patios or lawns.
