15. Study of RWH at Darbhanga, Bihar
North District of Bihar.
5th largest city of Bihar
According to 2011 census, 91.30% live in rural areas.
May is the hottest month when the temperature goes up to 47°C.
Average annual rainfall of this district is mm /year.

18. Role of Catchment area in RWH:
The catchment area is the first point of contact for rainfall.
Catchment area or roof will determine how much rainwater you can harvest.
Differences in roof slope do not change this building’s catchment area
1 L = Gallon
1 m2 = feet
1 m = inch

19. How much water can be harvested? (Indira Awas Yojna )
Average annual rainfall of Darbhanga District is mm /year.
Volume of water  20 m X m = 10 m3 = 10,000 L
(As per IAY) (only 43% of annual rainfall)
10,000 Liter per year could be harvested from one house even when we assumes that not 100 % but only 43 % could be harvested.
Basic minimum need per day is 40 L/day. So this much water is enough for 250 days an year for a single person. (70% time an year)
[IAY = Indiara Awas Yojna]

20. Under the “Accelerated Rural Water Supply Programme (ARWSP)” guideline the norms for providing potable drinking water to the rural population based on basic minimum need per day is as follows:

22. SODIS Solar Disinfection

23. Introduction of SODIS(Solar Disinfection )
simple low-cost, household-level drinking water treatment technology
uses solar radiation to improves microbiological quality of drinking water
one of the recommended HWTS by World Health Organisation (WHO).

25. SODIS applicability on Globe

26. Science behind SODIS :
SODIS process consists mainly of UV-A light (320 to 400 nm), which makes 6% of the total solar light. UV-A radiation directly interacts with the DNA, nucleic acids and enzymes of the living cells, changes the molecular structure and leads to cell death.
Oxygen was later identified as a crucial component of the solar disinfection process.
UV-A radiation generates oxygen radicals that are essential for the inactivation of microorganisms (Reed, 1997, Reed et al., 2000).
To achieve an equilibrium between oxygen levels in air and water, potential users are recommended to shake bottles before sun exposure (Kehoe et al., 2001)

27. Efficiency:
For efficient SODIS, a geographical area should receive radiation above 500 W/m2 for 3–5 hours.
[J Water Supply Res T 43(3): 154–169]
The inactivation rate under sunny weather condition with different rear surface was in order as absorptive>reflective>transparent containers

28. Case Study of Tamil Nadu, India
In Tamil Nadu, about 72% of the population has no access to clean drinking water
Gastrointestinal diseases and Cholera epidemics are therefore widespread
Study of five districts along the Cauvery Basin: Trichi, Erode, Perambalur, Karur and Pudukkottai
Groundwater is the main source of drinking water and private pumps, pond water are also common.
Bottle Supply system has been established with the help of local NGO and local volunteers

29. Study in Field: Over 2 years, 41450 families have been
trained in improved hygiene practices and
the application of SODIS.
90% of all the samples tested contained bacteria counts of 100 to 1000 colonies per 100ml.
Results:
The strong contamination of the raw water, the tests showed that SODIS treated water contained 0(zero) colonies of bacteria in 71.4% of the samples.

30. Presenting the results of the water quality tests to the community at TN(left: Raw water, right: SODIS water)

31. Result of Study
The survey on the acceptance of SODIS revealed that from the people trained there are 47.6% regular users, 45.2% irregular users and 7.1% non users
Regular : 26 days per month, 2 bottle per person.
More than 50% household members consume SODIS water

39. Results of SODIS in Lumbini, Nepal

40. In Indian Context
A daunting number of 96 million people in India lack access to safe drinking water
UN supports SODIS programme at 3 regions in India :-
Tamil Nadu
Northeast (Asom,West Bengal)
Delhi
More than households are already using SODIS in india

41. Effect in general
Pathogenic enteric bacteria are a major cause of drinking water related morbidity and mortality in the developing world (WHO,2008). More than four percent of the global DALYs (Disability Adjusted Life Years) were ascribed to diarrheal diseases, which ranked fourth among the most important contributors to the global illness burden, after lower respiratory infections (6.1% of total), HIV/AIDS (5.7%) and unipolar depressive disorders (4.5%) [World Health Report’s estimates (2004)]

42. Global Scene :
According to the latest available information by the joint study of UNICEF and WHO, still 783 million people do not have access to safe water resources.
Over 1.2 million children, most being less than five years old, die due to diarrheal diseases each year

43. What are the mistakes often made by new sodis users?
Green or brown plastic bottles are used for SODIS. => such bottles do not transmit the UV-A light. Therefore use clear transparent bottles only.
The containers chosen are too big. => optimally plastic bottles of 1-2 liters volumes are used (better surface/volume ratio).
Bottles are placed upright. => Instead of this: laying the bottles horizontally increases the area for sunlight exposure and reduces water depth. (At a water depth of 10cm and moderate turbidity level of 26 NTU, UV-A radiation is reduced to 50%)
After SODIS treatment, the clean water is filled into contaminated containers and the water is recontaminated. => Instead of this: consume the treated water directly from the bottle using a clean glass or a cup.

44. Problems with practical use
Turbidity Problem : SODIS to be very effective turbidity should be less than 30 NTU (= Nephelometric Turbidity units)
Cloudy Time: It is hard to give full SODIS treatment in time limit of 6 hr if it is full of clouds. So, One needs at least 2 continuous days for full treatment.

45. Advantages: Improves microbiological quality of drinking water
Extremely low-cost
Easy to understand and simple to use
Relies on locally available resources, plastic bottles
and sunlight

46. Disadvantages: Not alternative of fresh water
Does not treat chemical pollution
Is strongly climate and weather dependent
Only small volumes can be treated at a time and regardless the simplicity
Requires the availability of PET bottles (or plastic bags) and needs promotion

47. Conclusion:
Rain Water Harvesting is the best technique one can apply to serve the earth and himself
under normal conditions SODIS shows an efficiency of about 99.9%
SODIS works well and can be adopted wherever it needs. It secures the ‘Basics Right to Live’ to some extent.

48. International recognition:
The World Health Organization (WHO), UNICEF, and the Red Cross therefore recommend the SODIS method as a way to treat drinking water in developing countries.
“Solar disinfection is an example of another measure with proven health impact that requires little capital investment on the part of end-users, and is thus appropriate for the very poor.” WHO, 2007
“UNICEF promotes a variety of treatment methods such as user-friendly filtration, simple solar water disinfection (SODIS) and home chlorination. These are all low-cost, effective and manageable at the household level.” UNICEF, 2009
Red Cross Prize, 2006: "The jury considers SODIS an impressive way of contributing by the simplest means to making water supplies better and safer, thereby reducing diarrhea and other diseases like it, and mortality in developing countries." Red Cross, 2006
