As per the law, you need to store or RECHARGE 20 litres for for every sq.m of roof area and 10 litres for every sq.m of non-roof (ground surfaces such as parking, BACKYARD) area. This is for plot SIZES of 40x60 sq.m or more. For e.g. if your home has about 100 sq.m of roof area, and about 50 sq.m of non-roof area, then you will need to CREATE capacity for at least 2500 litres of water. If you are using a 1000 litre tank to store rainwater for IMMEDIATE use, you can connect the overflow to a 4000 litre (3 feet x 20 feet) recharge well.
