STORM WATER MANAGEMENT AND RECHARGING GROUND WATER - drskjain - 07-24-2014

STORM WATER MANAGEMENT AND RECHARGING GROUND WATER – ONE OF THE SOLUTIONS

1. The storm water during rainy season causes drainage problem and often roads are damaged by rainfall runoff.

2. This problem is serious in big cities and industries, where most of the open area is covered by roads or some concrete structures without proper drainage.

3. The water on roads during rains remains stagnant for hours together due to poor storm water management and results into erosion of roads.

4. In our country, industries and cities are facing water crises due to over exploitation of under ground water and no provision for recharge of aquifers.

5. Declining water levels are also consuming more energy in lifting the water and reduction in green coverage.

6. Solution of managing storm water on roads in urban and industrial areas is channelizing the same to ground water system in hygienic manner.

7. This method not only helps in controlling the devastating effects of storm water, but would improve ground water regime both in terms of rising of water levels and increase in ground water availability.

8. The techniques will also increase life of roads and reduce cost on maintenance and repairs. Besides, better plant growth is envisaged with less water requirement due to moist condition of surface soil through percolation structures.
