The rain water harvesting project is one of the prestigious projects of Bishop Moore College, which
not only prevents water scarcity in the campus but also provides a sense of water conservation and
environment conciousness among students.
The College bagged the prestigious ‘Palathully Award’ by ‘Malayala Manorama’ in 2010, for the
conservation of rain water for preventing the water scarcity of the Kallumala region.
As part of the rain water harvesting system of the college, soak pits are dug around the buildings to
harvest rain water. Two rain water harvesting tanks are installed in the campus. The collected water
is utilized for well recharging. Roof water harvesting is done from the Auditorium building from which
water reaches the tanks from where they are used for various purposes. A fraction of collected water
is used in chemistry laboratory.
The ground water recharging system ensures a steady level of water in the wells of the campus as
well as those in the nearby locality.
The Water Harvesting System, Rain Pits and the green campus are good models
