Rooftop Rainwater Harvesting

Supplementing Utility Water Demand via Sustainable Catchments

Industrial Manufacturing Facility, Bangladesh

The Challenge

Facilities rely entirely on deep tube groundwater wells for utility and sanitary uses. Over-extraction depletes local aquifers, increases energy costs for deep pumping, and threatens water security during seasonal dry spells.

The Solution

Installed a rooftop rainwater harvesting system across 4,094 m² of factory roof. The system conveys rain via downpipes, filters it through a first-flush diversion system, and stores it in a large underground reservoir, replacing groundwater for non-process uses.

3
Filtration & Convey

Water filtered and piped to reservoir

4
Utility Reuse

Water pumped for factory non-process uses

Key Highlights

Rooftop Utilization:

Turns 4,094 m² of unused rooftop catchment area into a highly productive clean water source.

Aquifer Conservation:

Saves 5,927 m³ of groundwater extraction annually, preventing water table depletion.

Water Security:

Provides a reliable alternative water supply during dry seasons or pumping failures.

Filtration Integration:

Incorporates first-flush storm sediment bypass valves to ensure stored water quality is high.
