क्या आप एक प्रोफेशनल हैं जो वाश, जलापूर्ति या खेती के क्षेत्र में कार्यरत हैं? और क्या आप किसी वैकल्पिक तरीके की तलाश कर रहे हैं जो आपकी परियोजना को अधिक स्थायी बना सके, या आपको अपनी परियोजना में जल संसाधनों की उपलब्धता का संकट है? अगर हां, तो यह उपकरण आपके लिए विकसित किया गया है!

यह उपकरण आपको वर्षाजल संचयन से संबंधित व्यावहारिक सूचनाएं उपलब्ध कराता है और बताता है कि वर्षाजल संचयन एक आसान विकल्प है, यह जलापूर्ति के पारंपरिक तरीकों में एक संशोधन है. यह इस बात का आकलन करने में आपकी मदद करता है कि बारिश को एकत्रित और भंडारण करने से आपको पानी की कितनी जरूरत पूरी हो सकती है, और कौन सी तकनीक आपके लिए कारगर साबित होगी.

रेन इज गेन टूल

यह पता लगायें कि आपकी परियोजना में वर्षाजल संचयन की कितनी क्षमता है. नीचे दिये गये स्टेप का अनुशरण करें, अपनी जल संबंधी जरूरतों को भरें और गणना करें कि आपकी वर्षाजल आपूर्ति की संभावित क्षमता क्या है. रेन इज गेन उपकरण के जरिये आप पता लगा सकते हैं कि वर्षाजल संचयन तकनीक को अपना कर आपके परियोजना क्षेत्र में कितना पानी इकट्ठा किया जा सकता है. यह आपकी इस बात का पता लगाने में मदद करता है कि क्या यह जमा होने वाला पानी आपकी जरूरतों को पूरा कर पाने में सक्षम है या नहीं.

• पहले, अपनी पानी की जरूरतों की गणना करें : विभिन्न उद्देश्यों के लिए आवश्यक पानी की मात्रा- घरेलू से उत्पादन क्षेत्र तक.

आपकी जल संबंधी आवश्यकता (पेज के मध्य में स्क्रॉल करते हुए पहुंचे)

• अब अपनी जलापूर्ति का आकलन करें : पानी की वह संभावित मात्रा जो आपके परियोजना क्षेत्र में वर्षाजल संचयन की विभिन्न तकनीकों का इस्तेमाल करते हुए जमा की जा सकती है.

Broader Context

Each decision on rainwater harvesting is context specific. The characteristics of the landscape, people's needs, local practices and laws & legislation differ in each country or catchment area. This can significantly influence your project. Therefore, when thinking about incorporating rainwater harvesting in your project, it is useful to take into account the following five aspects:

The Landscape	Water harvesting can be planned and implemented at different scales: from isolated individual plots within fields up to schemes covering a whole watershed or landscape. Water harvesting deliberately reallocates water resources within a landscape. Water sources in your project area may include springs, rivers, lakes, wetlands, rainfall and groundwater. It is important to have a clear understanding of the location of these sources, their availability throughout the year, their quality and their use. Bear in mind that the water flows and sources within a landscape are interconnected and affect one another. For instance, if you plan a storage dam at a specific location, people living downstream might receive less water. At the same time, a landscape provides different kinds of services to its surrounding communities. Healthy ecosystems directly feed vulnerable communities. A forest supplies people with food and water; trees on slopes regulate floods and increase water infiltration; and wetlands and forests have water-purifying functions. Make sure that you are aware of these different services. Check out this tool to learn more about environmentally sustainability within WASH projects.
Water Quality	As many public health problems are caused by contaminated water, it is important to make sure the harvested water used for drinking is of acceptable quality. Take into account not only the potential effect of natural processes (leaching, weathering, and dissolution) and human activities (agriculture, industry) on water quality, but also be aware of, for example, mosquitoes breeding in or near rainwater harvesting systems. More information on water quality issues related to rainwater can be found in the RAIN Water Quality Guidelines.
Social Sustainability	Projects are socially sustainable when they do not hinder a person from having access to water and when all stakeholders involved can voice their needs and expectations within the project. Ideally this should happen in the project design and planning phase. A socially sustainable project takes into account gender, age, economic status, social position, religion and culture. So before setting up a Rainwater Harvesting project, include these aspects in your work.
Multiple Stakeholders	Involving organisations from different sectors in your project, such as governmental organisations, the private sector and NGOs, is very important for its success. Be aware of the fact that every organisation has different roles and responsibilities. It will increase the institutional sustainability of the project if each party can, and is prepared to play its role. Facilitating a so-called enabling environment by using a multi-stakeholder approach should be part of your project design planning. Try to get a better understanding of local laws and regulations, and invest in involving all relevant stakeholders that could support your project.
Finance	Financial sustainability lies at the foundation of any successful project. People must be able to invest in a project to increase ownership and to keep the project running in cooperation with (local) governments and the private sector in your project area in the long term. Ask yourself important questions: can your project be financed locally? Are there banks or other (micro) financial institutions that can support your project? And will the project lead to increased income generation?
