Why Rain Water Harvesting?

Rainwater Harvesting (RWH) means collection and storage of rainwater. The collected rainwater can be stored for direct use or can be recharged into the groundwater.

Benefits of rainwater Harvesting:

» Quality of ground water improves.
» Raises the water levels in wells and borewells that are drying up.
» Mitigates the effect of drought and achieves drought proofing.
» An ideal solution to water problem in areas having inadequate water resources.
» Reduces the soil erosion as the surface runoff reduced.
» Choking of storm water drains and flooding of roads decreases.
» Saving of energy to lift groundwater. One meter in water levels saves about 0.40 kilo watt hour of electricity.

Vermiculture

Vermiculture or earthworm rearing is ancient method of soil up gradation by organic means without any use of Chemicals. Uthaan is propagating this system thru its work force of student. Small demo kits of Vermiculture having earthworms are installed in member schools to demonstrate & produce organic manure. This way system is propagated in Society.
