Abstract: India is land of versatile whether where inconsistency in rain is frequent. So as an option of having a back-up for water needs, one system becomes necessary which provides much saving of water; would be helpful in reducing wastage of water. Although rainwater harvesting (RWH) is gaining popularity as a sustainable water saving system in urban as well as rural areas, estimating required storage area for water remains an important design challenge so we are going to design an effective plan by which we can collect rain water into a storage for a particular campus and we are also going to make a design by which we can collect water to the ground and use it for a domestic purpose. Present paper majorly focuses on Rooftop rainwater harvesting (RRWH) of the study area as Sankalchand Patel Sahakar Vidhyadham (S.P.S.V.) Campus, Visnagar. The prime objective of this paper is to fulfill the scarcity of the water in the campus and then it need to be use it for domestic & drinking water supply
