Rainwater Harvesting Project at Espalier School, Trimbak Road, Nashik
We Inaugurated My Water Bank project, led by our esteemed Spiritual Guru, Sri M, on October 2nd, 2023, at Espalier School. This significant initiative, in collaboration with The Namami Goda Foundation and The Satsang Foundation, is a vital component of The Aviral Godavari Mission. With a focus on watershed management, we aim to enhance groundwater recharge and ensure the uninterrupted flow of the Godavari River. Together, we can make a difference for our environment and future generations.

What is rainwater harvesting ?
The saline water from the sea gets evaporated due to the heat from the sun, forms clouds and falls as rain as freshwater. A significant part of this rainwater drains out into oceans and drains. If we are able to harness this effectively, it can be an important source which can be used for various applications. So, in short, rainwater harvesting is the process of storing rainwater for reusing rather than allowing it to run off. However, it is vital to understand the steps of rainwater harvesting before that.
My water bank is The system of catching rainwater from the rooftop of our home, apartment or building. The roof becomes the catchment area and the rainwater is collected on the roof of the house or building. It can either be stored in a tank or diverted to an artificial recharge system. This method is less expensive, and if implemented correctly, helps in augmenting the groundwater level of the area.

-
Mitigates Drought Effects: Provides a reliable water source in arid regions and during droughts, enabling irrigation and crop growth even with low rainfall.
-
Improves Groundwater Table: Recharges surface runoff to underground aquifers, maintaining water levels and quality, and saving energy for water extraction.
-
Environmentally Friendly Storage: Prevents evaporation, replenishes groundwater, prevents seawater intrusion, and supports ecosystems reliant on groundwater.
-
Cost-Effective: Offers a long-term, affordable alternative to other water recycling methods, reducing the need for water transportation.
-
