Rainwater harvesting is a process of saving rainwater through the roof and open floor along the proper slope. Rajasthan is facing crises of water due to less rainfall every year. It is required to develop systems for collecting the rainwater from existing structures for fulfills water demand throughout the year. In this project, a rainwater harvesting system has been made for Techno India NJR campus through visual inspection, total station, theodolite, and GIS survey. Visual inspection has been done. Rainwater can be harvested through roofs of the academic block, workshop, hostel building, and I3 lab of thecollege. Some more area which is occupied by tiles and road was also considered for rainwater harvesting. The total built-up area for collecting rainwater is 9138.824 m2. Average rainfall in Udaipur is 689 mm/year and 6296.138 m3 volume of water can be saving through recharge in bore well. Two points have been selected based on the survey of the campus.
