Abstract

Purpose of the study:
The report explores the feasibility of capturing surface rainwater, storing the water resource on the Auroville plateau, and using it as a fresh water supply for Auroville city. Matrimandir lake is an integral part of the proposed multi-sourcing system.

Scope of the study:
The study analyses essential parameters for designing and implementing a future secure water resources programme:
• a time-wise execution strategy with population growth predictions,
• land use, • density, • rainfall patterns, • evaporation rates and run-off factors.

Several scenarios for realizing a surface water storage programme are investigated using different parameters and options to provide Auroville with fresh water supplied from captured surface water. The study concentrates exclusively on the city area and its estimated water demand.
