Abstract

India has different climatic conditions according to region or area i.e; hilly region dessert region etc.In Maharashtra due to different geographical codition there is some region where rainfall intesity is poor.In that region ferrocement tank is suitable for rain water harvesting for agriculture puropse. Most of developing countries are facing problem of poverty, low standard of living, and environmental degradation and housing storage. Ferrocement technology has been established as eco-friendly low-cost technology. Concrete and steel are the basic construction materials, which are being used with different concepts for construction such as RCC, pre stressed and ferrocement. Ferrocement is an innovative technology and has several advantages. Different type of meshes is used in ferrocement such as, chicken mesh, welded mesh. The desired shape maybe prepared from multi-layered construction of chicken wire, and if needed reinforced with steel wire or steel bars. In this project we have studied about the underground water tank use for rain water harvesting. In this project we cover Introduction, Literature review and Methodology of ferrocement tank. This project also includes site visit on construction of on ground ferrocement water tank at Saphale village which is located at Palghar District. We are constructed underground water tank using ferrocement under the supervision by Seva Sahayog (NGO). We constructed underground ferrocement water tank at moor village in Mangaon taluka, District Raigad.
