This study looks at how a college campus can use rainwater harvesting to tackle water shortages and support sustainability efforts. As campuses grow, more surfaces like roofs and walkways become impermeable, causing rainwater to run off instead of being absorbed and used. We propose a system that captures and treats rainwater, turning the campus into a self-sufficient unit that relies less on city water and underground sources.
KEYWORDS
Rainwater harvesting in a college campus is a sustainable solution that ensures efficient water management, reduces dependency on external water sources, and promotes environmental responsibility among students and staff. By collecting, filtering, storing, and recharging rainwater, the campus can meet a significant portion of its non-potable water needs such as gardening, toilet flushing, and cleaning, while simultaneously replenishing groundwater reserves. The implementation of rainwater harvesting on a college campus is a transformative step toward institutional self-sufficiency and environmental leadership.
