Aqua Solar Canopy-A Model based on Rainwater Harvesting and Solar Energy Production

Abstract

Scarcity of water is a major existing problem in India. Of all the water available to us, only 3% is pure and usable, and with more than 7 billion people on earth. Rainwater is the most undervalued of the types of freshwater available. Rainwater harvesting is one of the oldest and simplest method for saving and using water. It can be used for residential and household projects, and even larger systems for schools, hospitals and other facilities. Considering the scarcity of water in our country, lesser use of rain water and depleting renewable sources of energy, this model was developed to make it useful for masses and at a affordable price.
