What is ponds water harvesting?

The practice of rainwater harvesting in ponds and reusing the stored water for life saving irrigation of crops and also for domestic purpose is prevalent in India since ancient times.Rainwater Harvesting System, also called rainwater collection system or rainwater catchment system, technology that collects and stores rainwater for human use. Rainwater harvesting systems range from simple rain barrels to more elaborate structures with pumps, tanks, and purification systems.

Rainwater harvesting is the process of collecting and storing rainwater for irrigation. The harvested water is stored in ponds or tanks at an appropriate location so that maximum rainwater can be collected from a catchment.

When designing a rainwater harvesting system, you can consider the following components:

• Collection area

• Conveyance system

• Pre-storage filtration

• Entering storage

• Water storage

• Groundwater recharge

• Pump

• The outlet and distribution system

When buying a pond or lake development water harvesting system, you can consider the following:

• Determining the material to be used

• Determining the reliability of the collecting surface

• Estimating the water to be harvested

• Simulating rain (dry and wet)

Rainwater harvesting pond development requires:

• Earthwork

• Compaction

• Dressing of surfaces

• Excavation

• Civil works such as:

  • Staircase construction

  • Masonry works around the hume pipe

  • Hume pipe laying

  • Sluice gate fixing
