Five Most Innovative Rain Water Harvesting Projects





Rainwater harvesting is known to be one of the most prominent solutions to the impending vulnerability of many watersheds all over the world due to climate change impacts. The rejuvenation of the watersheds with the help of innovative rainwater harvesting can prevent further deterioration of the basins. Below are the five most intelligent water harvesting methods adopted by the stakeholders to restore their watersheds which ensured their sustainability.

Mega muddy rainwater harvesting System/project


"Harvested water is used for fish farming, banana plantation, Sericulture, Floriculture and for other purposes."



Story of Dhun

"the first step for his dream project was to bring water to this dry land and using traditional water harvesting practices the land today has more than 8 waterbodies in it..."


Rain Water Harvesting in Kenya, Ethiopia, and Uganda


"There is hardly a place in the world where it never rains. Rainwater belongs to everyone. And the methods to collect, store, use and reuse rainwater (to ‘harvest’ rainwater) are easy to apply. " The video represents the various rainfall harvesting measures adopted by the stakeholders, Kenya, Ethiopia, and Uganda."


The Miracle Water Village: Hiware Bazar

"The Miracle Water Village narrates the inspirational story of the impoverished farming community in India that reversed its fortunes through its visionary model of water management. 

Lying in one of the worst drought-prone regions of India, the village of Hiware Bazar battled many decades of sparse rain and failed crops. However, 20 years ago, the entire village came together to script a silent revolution by designing a rainwater-harvesting model that saved every drop of the scanty rain they received. Today, the village is literally an oasis in the middle of the desert, boasting of bumper harvests, dairy co-operatives, millionaire families, and visionary farmers. "


Chennai's Rainwater Harvesting

"This is the journey of Tamilnadu on its pursuit of finding sustainable clean water.
The planning and efforts are done for many many years by individuals, groups, and the state.  
Its Tamilnadu's Rainwater Harvesting efforts encapsulated into one story."

Eight most common impurities observed in water supplied to domestic households

The water supplied to domestic households has many types of contaminants which have the potential to create health irregularities in the consumer family. Among these contaminants, eight most common impurities were identified, and the type of filter which can remove or reduce them was delineated in the figure. Before procuring a water filter remember to see this chart. It will help to understand the impurities that the selected water filter can remove. Any water filters available in the market are generally made of one or more of these filters. To decide wisely use the concepts of MCDM to select your filters. Compare the filters available in the market with respect to Cost, Contaminant Removal Efficiency, Maintenance requirement, and type of filters used and rate each filter based on these factors with the help of AHP or ANP techniques. The result will be the filter that will be most efficient for your use. You can also use the ODM tool to come to a decision regarding the procurement o...

Seven Most Tenable Application of Artificial Intelligence on Water Resource Management Problems

AI or Artificial Intelligence is a pioneering technique that has enabled the creation of intelligent machines. or smart machines which have the power to self adapt based on the situation presented to them. It requires situations whose response is known and based on this training data set it learns the problems which it has to solve when it is ready. Due to the alarming success with AI in robotics, electronics, etc fields the same technique is now used to solve the problems of water resource management. This ppt shows the seven most notable use of AI in water resources-based problems where satisfactory improvement has encouraged the further application of the technique.

Seven Most Successful Water Conservation Projects in North East India

Water conservation is the minimization of the use of freshwater resources by the adoption of a sequence of methods as predesigned by the policy makers aimed at maximum utilization of available water resources. Water conservation events range from conservation methods like water monitoring and conservation-friendly building codes instituted by the government, to strategies for everyday people to reduce home water use. Water conservation imbibes reduction of energy use and enforces and enables stakeholders to become economically sustainable.  These five different types of water conservation events can be optimally designed for maximum output: 1. Updating to modern irrigation methods  2. Increasing Forest cover 3. Water conservation legislation.  4. Water redistribution.  5. Agro-based subsidies  However, the main objective of all types of water conservation projects is “ When you conserve water, you ensure that there will be enough for people to use in your commun...
