provided. In such places, it will be more appropriate to use rainwater to recharge ground water aquifers rather than to go for storage. If the strata are impermeable, then storing rainwater in storage tanks for direct use is a better method. Similarly, if the ground water is saline/unfit for human consumption or ground water table is very deep, this method of rainwater harvesting is preferable. 7.4.2.2. RECHARGING GROUND WATER AQUIFERS FROM ROOF TOP RUN OFF Rainwater that is collected on the roof top of the building may be diverted by drainpipes to a filtration tank (for bore well, through settlement tank) from which it flows into the recharge well, as shown in Fig. The recharge well should preferably be shallower than the water table. This method of rainwater harvesting is preferable in the areas where the rainfall occurs only for a short period in a year and water table is at a shallow depth

7.4.2.3. RECHARGING GROUND WATER AQUIFERS WITH RUNOFF FROM GROUND AREAS The rainwater that is collected from the open areas may be diverted by drainpipes to a recharge dug well / bore well through filter tanks as shown in Fig. The abandoned bore well/dug well can be used cost effectively for this purpose.

The mandate for education of children to encourage progressive thinking requires a functioning and supportive physical learning infrastructure. The Vidya Niketan school building is 34 years in age with falling far short against goal of 21st century educational demand. The failure is not surprising, because older school buildings were not designed to facilitate modern methods of teaching and learning. Plus, the building and site was built as the school land expanded further from a small plot to a 3.46 acres site. Typical classrooms are designed to be ‘Teacher-Centered Learning’ environments with double loaded corridors reinforcing isolation from other classes. High interaction between students creates a platform for students to learn from each other and develop social skills. To be sustainable we must simultaneously design for greater longevity and increased flexibility of use. Hence the need of a new style of infrastructure with new techniques and activities to the old school of Vidya Niketan, Dombivli.
