The Barikab Agricultural Economic Zone (BAEZ) covers the areas of approximately 100km2 located in north of Afghanistan Capital Kabul. Barikab will be planned and designed as an agricultural development hub that will include multi components and interrelated agriculture interventions.
The Barikab Agricultural Economic Zone is located on the desert area, and a water scarcity is an important problem to be solved in the project. Due to climatic and topographic reasons, it is difficult to get permanent water sources around Barikab Agriculture Economic Zone. So, the project planned several new water sources far from the area, and also planned the use of rainwater to reduce the consumption of water supplied from the new water sources.
This study investigates the feasibility of a surface rainwater harvesting from the mountains to cope with the water scarcity problem supposed in BAEZ. The system collects the rainwater fallen on surface of mountains, and it stores the water in a reservoirs. The harvested rainwater is used for the irrigation purpose. The surface rainwater harvesting system has a potential to save 4.2 milliom cubic meter water per year from 24,625,743 m2 catchment area.
I'm looking for design methodology and guideline for under ground water reservoir to keep water for the dry period.
