RAIN WATER, FOR STUDENTS THE ELIXIR OF LIFE ………………

Ottapalam:

The raindrops, which fall on the rooftop of Kendriya Vidyalaya, of Palappuram situated near Ottapalam in the Palakkad district, will never be wasted to the drainages. It will become the fundamental life water source for a student strength of 1600 and for a group of 70 staff members.

A model rainwater preservation tank with a radius of 6 meters and a depth of 2.5 meters has been constructed for this purpose. The rain that falls on the roof top of the vidyalaya buildings with not less than 2000 squire feet coverage will be collected through the pipes attached and directed after necessary filtering to the tank kept below the soil level.
The tank, constructed with Ferro cement technology, has the capacity of holding 60000 liters of water. In case of overflow, arrangement is made for the excess water to be diverted to the well nearby. The construction of the tank is in such a way that the collected water can be persevered for months from pollution or any other type of problems related and can be distributed after necessary purification. It is estimated that it can be filled at least 10 times in a year according to the approximate availability of rainfall at Ottapalam. Eventhough arrangement is made on top of the tank for air passage, it is completed in such a way that sunrays can hardly enter.

The project was completed with the enthusiasm and special interest shown by the Chairman of the vidyalaya management committee and the district collector Mr. Sanjeev Kaushik IAS. Approximately a sum of RS. 1 lakh was spent for its completion.
Being the first one of its kind in an educational institution in the district and perhaps in the state of Kerala, it is appreciated by everybody as a different endeavor.
