RAINWATER HARVESTING
Maximize your water conservation efforts through the practice of rainwater harvesting. This simple yet highly effective process involves the collection, storage, conveyance, and purification of rainwater runoff from rooftops, parks, roads, open grounds, and other surfaces.
Rainwater collection serves as a vital strategy to address the growing concern of water scarcity and the need for high-quality water sources. By implementing rainwater harvesting systems, you can utilize this valuable resource for various purposes, including livestocks irrigation, washing, cleaning, bathing, cooking, and fulfilling other agricultural requirements.
By capturing rainwater that would otherwise runoff, you can significantly reduce your reliance on traditional water sources. This not only helps conserve precious freshwater reserves but also eases the strain on municipal water supplies. Rainwater harvesting provides a sustainable and reliable alternative, ensuring access to water even during periods of scarcity or water restrictions.
At Allances, we specialize in providing comprehensive rainwater harvesting solutions tailored to your specific needs. Our expert team designs and installs efficient collection systems, incorporating advanced purification methods where required. Additionally, we offer detailed water conservation reports and certifications to validate the effectiveness of the implemented measures, ensuring conformity with regulatory standards and guidelines.
Join us in embracing rainwater harvesting as a practical and eco-friendly solution for water conservation. Together, we can make a significant impact on preserving our precious water resources and building a more sustainable future.

Different Methods to Conserve Rainwater
Roof-Top Surface Area
- This process involves collecting rainwater from the surface area of rooftops.
- Gutters and downspouts are installed to capture and channel the rainwater into a storage system.
- Rainwater flows from the rooftop into the gutters, which guide it towards the downspouts.
- Filters or mesh screens are used to prevent leaves, debris, and insects from entering the collection system.
- The collected rainwater is then directed into a soak/recharge pit or underground storage tank for later use.
Crosswave Technology
- Technology evolved from a geosynthetic use known as Infiltration Tanks, which when stacked offer avoid space volume that enables for water storage.
- Improved and more cost-effective industrial architecture now allows for theoretically infinite underground water storage.
- Uses pure rain filtration system approved by GRIHA & CGWB.
- No maintenance required, thus no recurring additions to the cost.
- Can create large volumes under the ground as one structure. There are no space constraint.
- Much higher recharge Capacity since Pit is porous from all the sides.
Recharge / Soak Pits
- Excavation: Recharge pits are excavated pits or trenches designed to allow rainwater to infiltrate the ground.
- Filtration Layers: The pit is filled with layers of gravel, sand, and coal, which act as a natural filtration system.
- Percolation Process: When rainwater flows into the pit, it percolates through the layers, filtering out impurities.
- Groundwater Recharge: The stored water slowly seeps into the surrounding soil, recharging the groundwater table.
Retention Ponds
- Retention ponds are constructed reservoirs designed to store rainwater specially in villages and dry arid regions .
- The pond is sized and shaped according to water needs and available space.
- An impermeable liner is installed at the bottom of the pond to prevent water from seeping into the ground.
- Rainwater is directed into the pond through natural and manmade channels.
- The stored water can be used for various purposes such as irrigation and/or landscaping.
