Feasibility and Design of Rainwater Harvesting System for Mumbai Metro Rail

Water Scarcity is serious problem throughout the world for both urban and rural community. Urbanization, industrial development and increase in agricultural field and production has resulted in overexploitation of groundwater and surface water resource and resultant deterioration in water quality. The conventional water source namely well, river and reservoirs, etc. are inadequate to fulfill water demand due to unbalance rainfall. While the rainwater harvesting system investigate a new water source. The aim of the present study is to use rainwater and thus taking close to the concept of nature conservation. In this study, the rain water harvesting system is analyzed as a alternative source of water at area of Mumbai Metro Rail. The expected outcome of the study is the development of rainwater harvesting system for catchment area of Metro Rail Over Head Bridge, Station, Parking and Roads.
