Regarding rain water harvesting (road side in hilly areas)

Hi Everyone!

I wanted to know if any sort of work has been done or is being done in the field of "Rain water harvesting by collecting the rain water besides the roadside(hilly area specially)"? If anyone is having any detail please let me know.

Regards

Shishir

Rainwater harvesting besides roadside is a great idea. But, I have a major reservation considering the inert dust and possible contamination of oil, oil soaked materials. Many times, we find some hazardous materials disposed on road sides. So, please find a reasonably high quality technology.

All the very best.

Sincerely,
Sanjay Mishra

No guideline is available in the country for BMP for road runoff. I have been using US county guidelines incorporating local climate and land data for clients having large project sites. The BMP structures include detention structures and constructed vegetated swales.
