FACILITIES

1. Rain water harvesting
2. Borewell /Open well recharge
3. Construction of tanks and bunds
4. Waste water recycling
5. Maintenance of water bodies and distribution system in the campus

University Campus is spread over on area of 60 acres out of which about 30 acres area is under soft landscape. Most of the soft areas have been confined to retain the storm water thereby preventing surface runoff and thus allow maximum ground recharge. Entire storm water drainage system for runoff from Roof Top/Open Terraces of buildings and road/pathway has been designed for ground water recharging with a network of 26 recharge pits spread over the campus and three (3) recharge basins. Roof top rain water and surface run off from road and path first enters the storm water network which then flows into the recharge pits passing through the desilting chamber. Each recharge pit has three bores of 150mm diameter with slotted PVC pipe encasing upto 3m below the underground aquifer allowing the ground recharging. The overflow from the recharge pits then enters back the storm water drain system and flows into the recharge basins. These basins have retention capacity of 100KL, 50KL 40KL each for ground recharging. The recharge basin in academic area has been designed with stepped seating surrounded by stepped seating and greenery. The cleaning of filter media in the recharge pits is taken up every year for efficient ground recharge cleaning of sump for removal of silt deposition. Recharge basin near shopping complex and Academic Block-A are provided with rain water recharge system. Pumps are provided near Block A basin tank for water reuse.
