Rain Water Harvesting & Water Recharging

Rainwater is harvested and the ground water is recharged through well-spread out percolation channels across Aangan.
The rain water is also collected from the roof through a system of gutters and pipes and fed by gravity into rain water
tank. Keeping in mind the annual rainfall pattern of Kochi the size of the tank was optimized. The usage of water from the
rains reduces the dependency on sources like municipal water and bore wells.
