Vardhman Envirotech: expanding by making world water positive

Complexity academic level The case provides an opportunity for participants to step into the shoes of Doshi and plan a way to expand Vardhman Envirotech (VE) business by either entering the government segment or by undertaking international market expansion. In doing so, participants should understand the existing strategy by taking into consideration the aspects regarding the manner in which VE’s Injection Recharge Well differs from the existing recharge well solutions. VE lack of experience in government segment, as well as international markets provides an interesting context for the case discussion wherein participants have to examine the positives and challenges of both expansion opportunities and decide the way forward.

Influence of different pumping and recharging schemes on regional groundwater drawdown in groundwater heat pump project: A case in Anhui Fuyang People’s Hospital

In the process of exploiting geothermal energy by groundwater heat pump (GWHP), the dynamic equilibrium of regional groundwater drawdown is the basis for sustained operation of GWHP. In this paper, taking the GWHP project of Fuyang People's Hospital in Anhui, China as an example, a mathematical model is established and numerical simulation is carried out based on the hydrogeological conceptual model by using Modflow software. In addition, considering the pattern of same direction recharge, the intersect recharge and the ratio of 90% and 100% reinjection respectively, the area change of the drawdown funnel caused by the GWHP project and the recovery of the water level after the system stopped operation are analyzed. The results show that the funnel area of the pumping well under the 90% recharge ratio is greater than that of the 100% recharge, while the operation result of recharge well is opposite in the most adverse situation of the system with a production volume of 1440m3/d and continuous operation for 4 months. Furthermore, with the same reinjection ratio, the funnel area of the same direction recharge mode is larger than that of the intersect recharge mode in both pumping wells and recharge wells, and increases with the decrease of drawdown. Moreover, with the increase of recharge amount, while the water level of recharge well rises, there is a certain supplement and balance to the water quantity of the pumping well.

PENGELOLAAN DAN PENGENDALIAN AIR HUJAN DALAM PERUMAHAN SEBAGAI UPAYA KONSERVASI AIR TANAH

Limpahan air hujan yang tidak terkendali membuat masalah banjir. Usaha dalam menerapkan teknik drainase menjadi pilihan dalam rangka menghadapi global warming yaitu sistem drainase air hujan berwawasan lingkungan. Sistem ini menurut [Sunjoto, 2007] terdiri dari tiga kelompok yaitu Sumur Peresapan Air Hujan (Recharge Well), Parit Resapan Air Hujan (Recharge Trench) dan Taman Resapan Air (Recharge Yard) dan yang terakhir ini juga disebut Taman Bertanggul [Sujono, 2005].Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini dengan menggunakan metode analisis kuantitatif. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan metode yaitu metode purposive sampling untuk pengukuran permeabilitas yang mempertimbangkan pengambilan sampel pada lahan yang belum diberi perkerasan seperti lahan kosong maupun pekarangan rumah sedangkan untuk pengukuran kedalaman muka air tanah dengan mengukur kedalaman permukaan air sumur eksisting dan dengan cara menggali rencana sumur resapan yang akan dipakai dalam komplek perumahan. Berdasarkan pendekatan perhitungan metode SNI 03-2453-2002 kebutuhan sumur resapan untuk menampung limpasan air hujan akibat dari tertutupnya lahan terbuka oleh rumah dan carport sebanyak 20 unit. Sedangkan sebagai pengganti lahan yang tertutup oleh paving block, dibuat 8 unit. Dengan dimensi sumur resapan diameter 1 m, kedalaman 1,5 m atau 3 buah buis beton untuk setiap sumur resapan.

Modification of Conventional Drainage System Using Recharge Well

One of the popular recharge systems is a recharge well that directly receive rainwater from the roof of the house. In this study, recharge wells will be introduced and analyzed in a modification of conventional drainage. Area for this research was taken in Kimpulan Village, Sleman, Yogyakarta. Input discharge that enters the recharge well used free-flow formula through holes or pipes. The dimensions of recharge wells followed the Sunjoto’s formula, but with T is the time of concentration, not the duration of the dominant rainfall. The result of this study showed that recharge well reduced the maximum discharge and dimensions of the channel. The reduction depends on the diameter of the connecting pipe, the height difference of the water level, depth of groundwater and permeability of the soil in the area. If a diameter pipe of 20 cm and a height difference of 1 m are used, it reduced the runoff discharge more than 17.3%. For the study area, it was not feasible to build additional recharge wells, because it required a large number of wells, approximately 58 pieces, due to very small soil permeability of 3.5.10-5 m/s.

UJI COBA APLIKASI PEMANENAN AIR HUJAN DAN SUMUR RESAPAN DI WILAYAH BOGOR, DEPOK DAN JAKARTA

Areas of Jakarta, Bogor, Tangerang and Bekasi (Greater Jakarta) is an area with high rainfall (2250 -2500 mm/year). The rain that falls in this region often cause flooding problems in the area of rice fields, settlements and even in downtown. Rain is a gift from God to be utilized to the maximum extent possible for everyday purposes. Rain Water Harvesting is an attempt to capture rainwater that falls on the roof. In this study, use of the roof area of about 300 -500 m2. Precipitation that falls on the roof is channeled and put into storage, by first filtering done to reduce the dirt. The volume of rain water storage for each location is 10 m3, medium intensity rain (15-20 mm/h), sufficient to meet the storage within a few hours. Rain Water Reservoir are equipped with water pump which has a capacity of 25 liters/minute, the water can be used for flushing toilets and spraying crops. If Rain Water Reservoir is full, water overflows into the Artificial recharge well. The results of analysis with Kostiokov calculation method used to calculate the infiltration rate of Artificial recharge well and calculate the cumulative volume of infiltration at the Artificial recharge well. Results of tests conducted are as follows: a). In Depok, the infiltration rate of Artificial Recharge Well is about 12 mm/minute and was relatively stable at 140 minute (2 mm/minute). It also has the ability to recharge 450 liters of water in 140 minutes. b). In South Jakarta, the infiltration rate of Artificial Recharge Well is about 11 mm/minute and was relatively stable at 160 minutes (2.5 mm/minute). Artificial Recharge Well has the ability to recharge 480 liters of water in 160 minutes. c). In Bantarjati, Bogor, Artificial Recharge Well have the highest capacity, namely 45 mm/minute and was relatively stable at 260 minutes (2.5 mm/minute). Artificial Recharge Well has the ability to recharge 1000 liters of water in 150 minutes. Rain Water Harvesting Development Efforts and Artificial Recharge Well very useful to overcome inundation in residential areas, especially during heavy rain, because it can reduce the volume of surface water into the channel simultaneously.
