This article evaluates the potential for water saving by using rainwater in Santhil and Sathya Hostel a residential building at Sanskrithi School of Engineering in Puttaparthi. Town located in southern state of Andhra Pradesh in India. The building houses on an average 500 students every year. The roof top of the hostel is the catchment area. Using average rainfall data, calculations for rainwater endowment and water harvesting potential were made. Volume of water that can be collected in one year was calculated. Suitable hydrocyclone for removing suspended particles and reducing turbidity has been proposed. The project cost was calculated making use of prices prevailing currently in India. Annual monetary savings were calculated based on the volume of water collected by rain water harvesting and payback period was arrived at.
