Abstract
The technical aspect of this paper is rainwater harvesting which is considered to be catchment areas of RAMACHANDRA COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING campus, Eluru. The campus is situated at the distance of 13 km from Eluru city in a large area of about 11.5 acres with strength of about 2300 students and more than 250 staff. To meet the demands of students and staff Water is the only natural source. If this demand is not met, then it will be lead to water scarcity. This paper dealt with all aspect of improving the water scarcity problem in the Ramachandra College campus by implementing ancient old technique of rainwater harvesting. At present 1,65,52,900 litres of ground water is being extracted every year. In case the RWH project is implemented then 1,10,43,390 litres (66.72% of current total ground water requirement) will be accumulated, which can be used to recharge ground water aquifer. This rainwater harvesting is implemented by the usage of pits.
