Introduction:

Tube Products of India is a leading manufacturer of precision steel strips and steel tubes which is located at Avadi, which comes under the avadi municipality, Thiruvallur district, Tamilnadu. The extent of land at TPI is 86.39 Acres and 2000 employees working in three shift basis

The factory is located in between the Chennai Thiruvallur High road and Chennai Bangalore Rail track for the North and the south side respectively, Nagammai Nagar is located at the east side of the factory and Tamilnadu Special Police is located at the west side of the factory.

Need for the Study:

To manufacture the steel strips and tubes it requires huge quantity of water for various purpose like cooling, process and domestic requirements, they get the water 8 KM away from the factory area since the ground water quality inside the factory premises is not meeting their requirement, even though they have initiated many water conservation projects through recycling the waste water to their manufacturing process and cooling requirements to reduce the consumption of groundwater.

To utilize the ground water from the factory premises itself they need to initiate the rain water harvesting method to improve the ground water quality and to use the water for their requirements.

Objectives:

* To improve the quantity and the quality of the ground water by recharging the rain water.

* To identify appropriate location to recharge rainwater.

Methodology:

The methodology used to improve the ground water quality and the quantity is by harvesting the rainwater in collection ponds and recharging the bore wells

How to reach the objective?

* Topographical Survey *

    Groundwater supplies many of the hydrologic needs of people everywhere when surface water like lakes and rivers are inaccessible. It also provides over 50 gallons per day for agricultural needs and is the source of drinking water for about half the total population as well as all of the rural population. Groundwater depletion, long-term water-level declines caused by sustained groundwater pumping, is one key issue associated with groundwater use and many areas of the U.S. are experiencing groundwater depletion. Pumping water out of the ground faster than it is replenished over the long-term causes similar problems and the volume of groundwater in storage is decreasing in many areas of the U.S. in response to pumping. Primarily, groundwater depletion is caused by sustained groundwater pumping. Some of the negative effects of it are drying up of wells, reduction of water in streams and lakes, deterioration of water quality, increased pumping costs, and land subsidence. Some of the negative effects of the environment and the people who make use of the water are lowering of the water table, deterioration of water quality, land subsidence, etc. So, the protection of this source from excessive pumping is extremely…

    Safe yield was originally defined as the amount of water that could be developed from a ground water reservoir without depletion of its reserves. Over time the definition has changed as economics, protection of ground water, and environmental affects have been considered in this concept as well. So, safe yield is now defined as the amount of naturally occurring ground water that can be taken from an aquifer on a regular basis, economically and legally, without affecting the native ground water quality or forming an unwanted effect such as environmental damage. When pumping water from a ground water supply, there are many possible adverse environmental effects. By lowering stream flow it can lower lake levels or dry up wetlands. It can also then have a negative effect on infrastructures; as it can lower the land surface and cause cracking in the land surface, damaging pipes, buildings, highways, dams and more. There are many other adverse effects, and in broad spectrum this may include ecological, economical, social, cultural, and political effects. However, it is debatable what constitutes an undesirable effect. Specific yield also does not take into account the relationship between surface and ground water. It takes a deep and broad evaluation by experts of multiple fields to determine safe-yield values. Computer models are used for making ground water models and computing safe yield values.…

    The artificial recharge to ground water aims at augmentation of ground water reservoir by modifying the natural movement of surface water utilizing suitable civil construction techniques. Artificial recharge techniques normally address to following issues (i) To enhance the sustainable yield in areas where over-development has depleted the aquifer. Conservation and storage of excess surface water for future requirements, since these requirements often changes within a season or a period. To improve the quality of existing ground water through dilution. To remove bacteriological and other impurities from sewage and waste water so that water is suitable for re-use.…

    Chennai city, one of the major metropolises of India, is situated at the northern coastal edge of the State of Tamil Nadu. The city is more well-known by its older name of Madras. Currently, Chennai is inhabited by more than 7 million people in an area of 176 sq km. Water supply for this population is maintained by tapping a combination of surface storage reservoirs and aquifers. The Chennai Municipal Water Supply and Sewerage Board (CMWSSB), a statutory body established in 1978, is responsible for water supply and sewerage services in the Chennai Metropolitan Area. The main sources of public water supply in the city are the three reservoirs — Poondi, Redhills and Cholavaram — with an aggregate storage capacity of 175 million cubic metres (MCM). The other major resource is groundwater from the well-fields in the Araniar-Kortaliyar basin and the southern coastal aquifer, and also a large number of wells and tube-wells spread all across the city (Figure 1). Over-extraction of groundwater resulted in a rapid ingress of seawater, which extended from 3 km inshore in 1969 to 7 km in 1983 and 9 km in 1987[[i]]. Groundwater levels within the city also fell and brackish water began to appear, even in localities which earlier had good quality groundwater sources. The CMWSSB calculates water availability based on surface and aquifer contributions under its direct control. Since it perceived reservoirs and other surface supply as more significant for a long time, very little attention was paid to subsurface storage or ground water recharge. As an outcome of research, done…

    In many regions of the world, clean drinking water is not always available and this is only possible with tremendous investment costs and expenditure. Rainwater is a free source and relatively clean and with proper treatment it can be even used as a potable water source. Rainwater harvesting saves high-quality drinking watersources and relieves the pressure on sewers and the environment by mitigating floods, soil erosions and replenishing groundwater levels. In addition, rainwater harvesting reduces the potable water consumption and consequently, the volume of generated wastewater.…

    Rain Water Harvesting

    • 6379 Words

    Introduction: Till about thirty years back, the areas around our homes and offices used to be unpaved and the rain falling on these areas would percolate into the soil and remain there for being drawn through shallow open wells. With the proliferation of flat complexes, not only have these areas been paved and percolation of rainwater into the soil almost totally stopped, the quantity of water drawn from the soil below has increased manyfold. Consequently open wells and not - so - deep bore wells started drying up. The reason is that no sincere attmept is made to replenish the ground watertable with rainwater during the monsoon.…

    In areas that have regular rainfall, the most appropriate alternative is the collection of rainwater, called ‘rainwater harvesting’. Falling rain can provide some of the cleanest naturally occurring water that is available anywhere. This is not surprising, as it is a result of a natural distillation process that is at risk only from airborne particles and from man-made pollution caused by the smoke and ash of fires and industrial processes, particularly those that burn fossil fuels. Most modern technologies for obtaining drinking water are related to the exploitation of surface water from rivers, streams and lakes, and groundwater from wells and boreholes. However, these sources account for only 40% of total precipitation.…
