Energy Conservation by Reducing Pumping Efforts using Roof Top Rain Water Harvesting: a Case Study of Poornima University

Abstract

It is well known fact that drinking water is in scarcity and it will become a major problem for our society in times to come.Harnessing the drinking water also consume enormous amount of electricity. Rain Water Harvesting becomes very important because it can not only meet the minimum drinking water requirement of future generation but also saves electricity by reducing pumping efforts through roof top rain water harvesting using storage tanks. This paper includes a case study based on the campus of Poornima University, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India which includes rain water received in the campus, design of settlement tank, storage tank and electrical saving through the proposed model.
