Rainwater harvesting, an age-old tradition, serves as a beacon of sustainable water management, utilizing the natural bounty of precipitation to tackle contemporary water challenges. This time-honored technique offers a host of advantages, from easing pressure on depleting water resources to mitigating the impacts of drought. CWPRS is committed to environmental stewardship, viewing rainwater harvesting not merely as a theoretical notion but as a cornerstone of sustainable principles.
- Rooftop Systems: The campus features strategically positioned rooftop rainwater harvesting systems in key buildings like the Main Administrative Building and Dohi Building. These systems efficiently gather rainwater runoff, directing it through downcomers for subsequent ground water recharging.
- Recharge Pits: To replenish groundwater stores, CWPRS has installed recharge pits. These pits capture rainwater runoff, allowing it to seep into the ground, thereby bolstering aquifers and minimizing surface runoff. The location of pit is strategically finalised to capitalize on the natural elevation and slope, facilitating the efficient collection of rainwater runoff.
- Natural Seepage: Making use of the ample open space available, surplus rainwater naturally infiltrates into the ground, further bolstering aquifers and reducing the risk of flooding.
Through these concerted efforts, CWPRS not only showcases its dedication to sustainable water management but also sets a commendable example for others to emulate, demonstrating the tangible benefits of embracing rainwater harvesting practices.
