Rain Water Harvesting (RWH) is a unique feature of the College as a valuable alternative or supplementary water resource, along with more conventional water supply technologies. Water shortages can be relieved if rainwater harvesting is practiced more widely. Rain water harvesting is a technique of collection and storage of rainwater into natural reservoirs or tanks, or the infiltration of surface water into subsurface aquifers before it is lost as surface runoff. It provides independent water supply during regional water restrictions. In modern day conditions this technique has become a pre-requisite as it will help in replenishing ground water resources, will reduce peak demands during summer months and will also save treated water for more important and appropriate water uses. The institution taking a note of its importance and has developed a rain water harvesting system in its premises.
