    This document proposes a water management plan for a 110 villa gated community called Rolling Hills in Hyderabad that experiences water shortages in the summer. It involves a multi-layered strategy to harvest rainwater, including collecting rooftop water and directing water from streets and intersections into recharge pits and injection bore wells. The goal is to recharge groundwater to support the community's borewells and help alleviate summer water shortages, as large volumes of rainwater currently flow out of the community untreated. Initial results indicate the strategy has helped maintain yield from the community's borewells even after failed monsoons.

    Case Study:

    Rainwater Harvesting in
    Gated communities
    Proposed water management plan
    Rolling Hills, Gachibowli, Hyderabad
    May 2016

    Highest
    point

    ROLLING HILLS
    (110 villa community,
    Gachibowli)

    slope

    14 acres property
    110 houses
    30% building space
    2 large parks
    Natural slopes to one end
    Rainwater flowing into
    gates from outside
    Each homes terrace
    water let out on road

    Rooftop, roads and


    sidewalks water on
    road. Total non-seepage

    area is 50% of total

    14acres ~= 30k sq mt
    1cm rain ~= 300K litres!!

    Lowest
    point

    2 live borewells

    1 partial borewell

    2 defunct bores

    The water challenge:


    Lots of rain. But no water in summer!

    110 homes. Summer water shortage

    Dependent on city water and 2 borewells


    Until 2015 no effective recharging happening
    Summer water shortage, needed to buy 10-30K litres per
    day

    Rains, 300,000 litres of water per hour

    14 acres @ 1cm rain (peak rains can be 3-4 cm/hour)


    After absorption in gardens & unpaved parts of individual
    villas

    Rainwater flows like a river

    Rain water from each house let onto road. At lowest point
    water flows like a river into a massive storm water drain

    Often causing flooding

    Flowing out into a poorly engineered neighborhood storm


    water system

    A harvesting
    solution was
    imperative!!
    For the whole community.
    Comprehensive solution

    Multi Layered strategy

    Individual houses
    Streets outside houses
    Rooftop collection,
    filter,store in sump
    Intersections
    Near
    each
    house,
    Overflow let onto
    a small ground
    street
    Near Borewells
    Larger RWH pits
    recharge
    with an 30 feet
    harvesting pit
    Lowest point
    RWH pit with a
    injection bore
    200 feet injection
    bore
    Water from
    nearby areas
    directed to near
    borewell

    Built water minidam structure,


    and let water from
    here into a large
    sand filter
    From filter onto a
    deep (1000 feet)
    defunct bore with
    large absorption
    capacity

    How?

    Intersections

    Larger RWH pits with an 30 feet injection bore

    Near Borewells

    RWH pit with a 200 feet injection bore. Water from


    nearby areas directed to near borewell

    Individual houses

    Rooftop collection,
    filter,store in sump
    Overflow let onto street

    Speed bump

    Built water mini-dam structure. Let


    water from here into a large sand filter.
    From filter onto a deep (1000 feet)
    defunct bore

    Sand/stone
    filter
    Deep
    Borewell

    Further plans
    1.
    2.
    3.
    4.

    Complete rooftop filters for


    all homes
    Road pavement tiles (outside
    each driveway)
    Side walks harvesting
    Roof top gardens

    Key results

    Even as only partially complete, in a bad summer after failed


    monsoons, when most borewells in the city and around the
    community dried up, the two borewells yielded good water
    (touchwood )
    With remaining works underway in summer of 2016, water going into
    external storm water drains will be significantly reduced
    Hoping the ground (and deep aquifers) recharge from the colony will
    help the whole extended neighborhood filled with very dense high
    rise apartments
