At the rate the ground water is getting depleted the rain water harvesting is a necessity of the day.To share our bit of responsibility towards the conservation of water and accountability towards conserving environment, we at Lala Lajpatrai College have started Rain Water Harvesting in 2018 (2017-18).This Rain Water Harvesting was incepted in our college with an objective to save the rain water from being getting wasted so that the demand for water can be met through the ground water. This rain water harvesting was also intended for the rain water harvestable from the roof and the manoeuvrings yard of the College premises.

On 13/12/2018 Rain Water Harvesting was initiated in our college backyard that included Rain Water Harvesting filtration unit below ground with excavation, filter material, perforated media for water percolation, protecting brickwork with covering material and Sign Board etc. A PVC pipe 6” dia is put underground to facilitate rain water’s collecting and movement for harvesting. Pipe protection Net too has been put up for the protection and sustenance of water drain pipes. The underground tank has the capacity of 208000 litres water for storage. With the available rainwater of 4347000 litres during monsoon where the water requirement for 3200 people for various purposes is 208000 there every day 208000 litres can be fulfilled by Rainwater Harvesting alone for flush water.
