2 Mindtree - RWH Calculations1

This document contains calculations for rainwater harvesting at the Mindtree campus in Bangalore, India. It lists various surfaces on the property and their areas, runoff coefficients, and estimated monthly rainfall. It then calculates the potential rainwater harvest from the roof and non-roof areas for harvesting 25%, 50%, and 75% of the runoff. The maximum potential harvest is estimated at 68 cubic meters from the roof and 56 cubic meters from the non-roof areas. Currently, 59 cubic meters is being harvested from the roof, accounting for 92.75% of the potential. Rainfall data from 2010-2014 is also presented.
