OBJECTIVES

Design of structures for optimal harvesting of rainwater using GIS includes

  • Creation of the topographical elevation model.
  • Identification of suitable sites for locating water harvesting structures using DEM.
  • Land use analyses in the catchment.
  • Computation of water yield.
  • Study of geological and soil characteristics for civil design of the structure.
  • Optimal design of rainwater harvesting structure considering the demand.
