  1. WATER- safe, sustainable and for all… Water: The Drop of Life DEFINITION OF THE PROJECT: WATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN DELHI – -GIVING A NEW LIFE TO RIVER YAMUNA, THUS TO DELHI… …BY THE AUGMENTATION OF GROUND WATER BY RAIN HARVESTING UNIT.

  2. TRADITIONAL WATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS • The traditional water harvesting strategies had effected an integration of storm and floodwater regulation, wastewater collection, drinking water supply and micro-irrigation. These were • Location specific, • Slope efficient, • Gravitation based, • Inexpensive and non extractive methods of harvesting the extremely limited fresh water supply, accessible to human use. • Indian communities had perfected management of the natural watersheds of forests, hills and dales, using knowledge of the hydrological regimes and rhythms, water veins and aquifers, slope and lie of land, history and movement of rivers. Kunda with a well, Roti Pushkarni at Loni Bhapkar CONTINUING TRADITIONS AND TECHNOLOGIES: Aside from archaeological examples, water harvesting structures continue to be maintained by endogenous communities all over the country. Groundwater continues to be drawn from aquifers or palaeo channels in Rajasthan through bardi (shallow wells in depressions), tankas, khadin and johad (underground storage pits), kunds (cisterns in catchments), beris (wells on river beds). CASE STUDIES…

  3. WATER SYSTEMS AT UDAIGIRI: View of udaigiri caves showing a tank Udayagiri consists of two hills joined together with a low ridge or a saddle. The hills are aligned northeast-southwest, forming a crescent-shaped pocket in the west with ancient The western end of the passage leads to a high embankment of a tank, two sides of which are formed by two sides of the northern hill divided by a valley. There are three other tanks and two major channels apart from minor drains forming four independent water systems at Udayagiri CASE STUDIES…

  4. CONTEMPORARY WATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS Rain water harvesting system advantages •    * In areas where there is inadequate groundwater supply or surface resources are either lacking or insufficient, rainwater harvesting   offers an ideal solution              .* Helps in utilizing the primary source of water and prevent the runoff from going into sewer or storm drains, thereby reducing the load on treatment plants. • Reduces urban flooding.* Recharging water into the aquifers help in improving the quality of existing groundwater through dilution Urban centers in India are facing an ironical situation today. On one hand there is the acute water scarcity and on the other, the streets are often flooded during the monsoons. • This system is practiced on a large scale in cities like Chennai, and Bangalore where rainwater harvesting is a part of the state policy. Elsewhere, countries like Germany, Japan, United States, and Singapore are also adopting rainwater harvesting. CASE STUDIES…

  5. The system consists of a collection tank, slow sand filtration, and a “living systems” componentwhich uses aquatic plants and fish to purify the water. The rainwater collection basin is located on the roof of the Farm Centre and integrated with the existing roof structure and drainage systems. • An example of a Rainwater Harvesting System.  This one is integrated into the design of a home and yard in Portland Parapet wall has been given corrugated profile to facilitate more quantity of rain flow to the gutter CASE STUDIES…

  8. YAMUNA & DELHI- …the relationship The river bed area in Delhi is 97 sq km. The whole of it is coarse sand up to a depth of 40m. This feature is the key to the riverbed recharge capability!!

  9. Sources of Water in Delhi • Delhi receives its water from 3 sources:A. Surface Water: 86% of Delhi's total water supply comes from surface water, namely the Yamuna River, which equals 4.6% of this resource through interstate agreements.B. Sub-surface water: Rainey wells and tube wells. This source, which is met through rainfall (approx. 611.8 mm in 27 rainy days), and unutilized rainwater runoff, is 193 MCM (million cubic meters).C. Graduated Resources: It is estimated at 292 MCM, however current withdrawal equals 312 MCM. Salinity and over exploitation has contributed to depletion and drastically effected the availability of water in different parts of the city. However, according to a report released by the Central Ground Water Board (GCWB), Delhi's ground-water level has gone down by about eight meters in the last 20 years at the rate of about a foot a year. PRESET SITUATION Source: Delhi Jal Board SITE ANALYSIS

  10. Water Requirement OF Delhi …The requirement of water conservation • Delhi is experiencing increasing pressure to meet demand for its water resources. • Growing urbanization, improvements in living standards, exploding population are just some of the contributing factors. • Average water consumption in Delhi is estimated at being 274 liters per capita per day (lpcd), the highest in the country. • The large-scale extraction of groundwater is a result of this widening gap between the demand (830 mgd) and supply (650mgd) of water. • And still worse, serious doubts are also being raised about both the quality and quantity of groundwater. • The population of Delhi is expected to cross 220 lakhs by the end of 2021.

  13. WATER TABLE FLUCTUATION IN DELHI • As can be compared from the data given above, the water fluctuation levels of Delhi is highly alarming. • The situation is worsening due to exploitation of groundwater at a rate higher than the rate of its replenishment. • Rain water harvesting is a boon for us in the given scenario. • Recharging of groundwater from rain water harvesting can meet more than half of the city’s supply demands.
