Guwahati gets enough rain — capture it

Guwahati receives over 1,700 mm of rain yearly. Most runs off into drains and floods low-lying streets. A simple harvesting system saves money and recharges the groundwater your borewell depends on.

Your borewell is going dry — and the rain on your roof is wasted

Groundwater across Guwahati is dropping every year. Many homes in Panjabari, Kahilipara, and Narengi run borewells dry by March. Meanwhile, monsoon rain floods the terrace and goes straight to the drain. Harvesting connects the two problems into one solution.

Services

Rooftop collection system

Gutters and pipes channel clean rainwater from your terrace into storage tanks.

When: Homes with large terrace area — ideal for flushing, gardening, and car washing.

Risk: A 100 sq m roof in Guwahati can collect 1.7 lakh litres annually. That's free water you're currently throwing away.

Borewell recharge pit

Filtered rainwater is directed underground to recharge your borewell aquifer.

When: When your borewell water level drops seasonally or the pump runs longer each year.

Risk: Recharge pits can raise water table by metres over 2–3 monsoons — extending borewell life by decades.

Storage tank installation

Overground or underground tanks store harvested water for daily non-drinking use.

When: When you want immediate usable water, not just groundwater recharge.

Risk: Stored rainwater cuts municipal water bills and provides backup during supply cuts.

Why Guwahati needs this now

Urban flooding in Guwahati worsens each year because hard surfaces send rain to drains too fast. Harvesting on your property reduces runoff, lowers your water bill, and helps the neighbourhood aquifer. Many municipalities now encourage or require harvesting for new construction.

Simple payback

Before next monsoon — set up harvesting and never watch rain go to waste again.
