Case Study- Jal Jeevan Hariyali

‘Jal Jeevan Hariyali’ is a Mega Forestation and Environment Conservation Programme launched in order to protect water resources and plants. It is aimed at protecting the environment and minimizing the bad effects of climate change on the lives of people. The co-existence of droughts and floods possess a potent threat that cannot be eradicated but has to be managed. The plunging Ground Water Table makes the situation grave in dry areas. Water shortages are sometimes inevitable.

Rain Water Harvesting is the technique utilized to harvest rainwater to be stored for later use. As a part of this event, Participating Teams are required to come up with an innovative idea of low-cost rainwater harvesting techniques. These techniques can be applied for rural/urban areas and should be cost-efficient and effective. 

Instructions:

• Participating teams can have 2-3 members of the same college.
• Teams are required to submit their idea in .pdf format illustrating the technique with proper diagrams, wherever applicable.
• On the basis of submitted ideas, the list of shortlisted teams will be declared whose final presentation will be scheduled on 13^th and 14^th February 2021.
• The evaluation will be done on the basis of novelty of idea, complexity, clarity, details in prescribed format, feasibility, practicability, sustainability of the solution, scale of impact and scope for future implementation.
• If feasible, teams can also illustrate the working of their technique through a mini-scale model. Video illustrating the working of the model can be uploaded on Google Drive and links can be shared while idea submission.
