Abstract: Water is our most precious resource, Due to its vital role in life, water is one of the most precious resources in the planet. The present study was conducted at MCAET, Ambedkar Nagar keeping in view the importance of rain water harvesting and ground water recharge. The catchment area of college building, workshop, barren land, cultivation land, road area and orchard area were measured and found as 10315 m², 3800 m², 2512 m², 1500 m², 3272 m² and 2882 m² respectively. The total area of campus is found to be 24281 m². The average seasonal rainfall of pre-monsoon, monsoon, post-monsoon and winter season is estimated as 49.63 mm, 833.51 mm, 26.38 mm and 32.21 mm respectively. The total runoff volume generated during pre-monsoon, monsoon, post monsoon and winter season is found as 714.13 m³, 11824.94 m³, 379.56 m³ and 463.45 m3 respectively. From the estimation of runoff volume generated from MCAET campus, it is found that a huge amount (13382.08 m³) of runoff water is available for ground water recharge.
