ROOFTOP RAINWATER HARVESTING SYSTEM AND IN-LINE TREATMENT

Abstract

Water is one of the basic needs of living beings. Generally water is available on the earth in the form of salt water and fresh water. Fresh water available is in the form of frozen and unfrozen state. Unfrozen fresh water is found mainly as groundwater and surface water which only can be directly used. As the human population increases, water demand increases and the water scarcity problem arises. There are many remedial measures on the water scarcity which can be applied on each scale. The measures such as recycling of treated wastewater, conservation through minimizing water consumption and rainwater harvesting will help to reduce load on water demand.
