RAIN WATER HARVESTING

Rainwater

collection of water Ferro cement Ordinary tankTank

• The volume of monthly rainfall excess generated from the roof catchment was estimated using following rational approach of estimation:

• V = (P x A x C)/ 1000• where;• V= Monthly volume of harvested rainfall in m3

• P = Monthly rainfall amount in mm at P ≥ 80% (mm)

• A= Roof area (m2) • C= Runoff coefficient

STORAGE TANKS

•FERROCEMENT TANKS

•Thin, light and easy to transport•Skilled manpower not required•High degree of impermeability and resistance of cracking•Economical

END USES..

Water from the Ferro cement tank

Drinking and cooking in the school andWater from the Ordinary tank

For sanitation purposes in the school

Sanitation

•Toilet that we are going to use is double pit VIP latrine with ventilation.

•Easy to construct.•Can be reused.•The pit and septic tank are separable.

Double pit latrine…

Multi pit latrines..

IMPACTSUnusual and unsafe handling of water from the tank in school also can be the reason of platform for the communicable diseases.❖Some what it can be controlled by using
