Abstracts: Till about thirty years back, the areas around our homes and offices used to be unpaved and the rain falling on these areas would percolate into the soil and remain there for being drawn through shallow open wells. With the proliferation of flat complexes, not only have these areas been paved and percolation of rainwater into the soil almost totally stopped, the quantity of water drawn from the soil below has increased manifold. Consequently open wells and not - so - deep bore wells started drying up. The reason is that no sincere attempt is made to replenish the ground water table with rainwater during the monsoon. The Rainwater harvesting is the simple collection or storing of water through scientific techniques from the areas where the rain falls. It involves utilization of rain water for the domestic or the agricultural purpose. The method of rain water harvesting has been into practice since ancient times. It is as far the best possible way to conserve water and awaken the society towards the importance of water. The method is simple and cost effective too. It is especially beneficial in the areas, which faces the scarcity of water. People usually make complaints about the lack of water. During the monsoons lots of water goes waste into the gutters. And this is when Rain water Harvesting proves to be the most effective way to conserve water. We can collect the rain water into the tanks and prevent it from flowing into drains and being wasted. It is practiced on the large scale in the metropolitan cities. Rain water harvesting comprises of storage of water and water recharging through the technical process. We have to overcome this type of problems we have selected this project “POTABLE WATER FACILITIES IN COLONY THROUGH RAIN WATER HARVESTING” selected MaaParvati Nagar near at Godhra Road, dahod for applying the concept of rainwater harvesting.It is hard to conserve rain water and reuse it. So we apply this entire concept in existing building. The terrain area is geologically rocky field. Its base soil is having hard rocks and tough soil which does not allow stabilization of ground water. So, it is the basic requirement to increase the water level of ground water. With this purpose we are trying to harvest the rain water and store it into the ground & increase the water lavel.
