Water scarcity is serious problem throughout the world for both urban & rural community. Urbanization, industrial development & increase in agricultural field & production has resulted in over exploitation of groundwater & surface water resources and resultant deterioration in water quality. The conventional water sources namely well, river and reservoirs, etc. are inadequate to fulfil water demand due to unbalanced rainfall. While the rainwater harvesting system investigate a new water source. The expected outcome of the study is the development of rooftop rainwater harvesting system from all the academic blocks hostels and parking facilities within the campus thereby the scarcity of the water in the campus. The harvesting structure are planned and design to store the rainwater and use the same for domestic purpose within the campus. The result analysis shows that the present RT-RWH system is having the storage 8,21,494litres/year and construction cost of Rs.7.25 lakhs respectively and is reasonably well in comparison with conventional water sources. The developed system satisfies the social requirements and can be implemented in rural areas by considering almost all the technical aspect.
