Introduction:
Tube Products of India is a leading manufacturer of precision steel strips and steel tubes which is located at Avadi, which comes under the avadi municipality, Thiruvallur district, Tamilnadu. The extent of land at TPI is 86.39 Acres and 2000 employees working in three shift basis
The factory is located in between the Chennai Thiruvallur High road and Chennai Bangalore Rail track for the North and the south side respectively, Nagammai Nagar is located at the east side of the factory and Tamilnadu Special Police is located at the west side of the factory.
Need for the Study:
To manufacture the steel strips and tubes it requires huge quantity of water for various purpose like cooling, process and domestic requirements, they get the water 8 KM away from the factory area since the ground water quality inside the factory premises is not meeting their requirement, even though they have initiated many water conservation projects through recycling the waste water to their manufacturing process and cooling requirements to reduce the consumption of groundwater.
To utilize the ground water from the factory premises itself they need to initiate the rain water harvesting method to improve the ground water quality and to use the water for their requirements.
Objectives:
* To improve the quantity and the quality of the ground water by recharging the rain water.
* To identify appropriate location to recharge rainwater.
Methodology:
The methodology used to improve the ground water quality and the quantity is by harvesting the rainwater in collection ponds and recharging the bore wells
How to reach the objective?
* Topographical Survey *
