Rainwater Harvesting Project at Espalier School, Trimbak Road, Nashik
On 2nd Oct 2023, Sri.m Inagurated the My water bank project at Espalier School along with Namami goda foundation team and The Satsang foundation team. This project is one of the important part of Aviral godavari mission.

Dawoodi Bohra homes embrace rainwater harvesting in Nashik
DrRajendra Singh & the Namami goda team and satsang foundation team conducted an educational session for the students of the MSB Education Institute and Dawoodi Bohra community members, Nashik. The community members have initiated Project My Water Bank for rainwater harvesting in 1000 homes.
My water Bank ?
In simple words a Rain water harvesting unit at every individual home
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.
Advantages
of
Rain Water Harvesting / My water Bank
​
-
Promotes Groundwater Adequacy: Helps sustain groundwater levels amidst rising population and usage, preventing depletion in areas facing water scarcity.
-
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.
-
Conserves Water: Promotes effective water use and conservation. Proper maintenance of the harvesting system ensures its efficiency and longevity
