RWH at CapeTown may be done if not done already. Make catchment zones 1km by1km.. Cape Town Receives 788mm rain in 100 odd days.. Each zone can store 8000 kl cbm ie 8x 10^6 litres each day . This can cater to 100k people potable needs.... RWH practice calls for 3 elements 1.collection of rain water 2. Cleaning using stone/sand fltrs 3. Charging to ground water aquifers by bores or over land in ponds and lakes.. All done by gravity. At a few places transfer pump to ponds may be done. ... Main aim is not to allow RW to be drained into sea come what may. Motto- catch water where it rains.. Well wishes from Prof Ajit Seshadri.Vels University. Chennai. INDIA ..
