Abstract
This paper discussed the application of foam and sand as dual media filter for rooftop rainwater harvesting system for any residential or commercial building. The area selected for analysis is the new girl’s hostel building of VNIT Nagpur campus. A rooftop rainwater harvesting system is proposed using foam and sand as dual media for filtration and various tests are performed and results are find to provide solution to water scarcity and sustainable use of water for future.
