Preliminary Site Visit Report DLF Fondation Phase IV

DLF FOUNDATION commissioned SJ India in March 2025 to develop rainwater harvesting proposals for Gurugram, addressing severe waterlogging issues during monsoon periods. Currently, 93 rainwater harvesting structures are underutilized due to sediment accumulation, and the goal is to enhance their capacity to 1500-2000 KL using a modular tank approach. Key problems identified include inadequate drainage sizing and insufficient capacity of existing rainwater harvesting systems, with a proposed way forward involving catchment analysis and infrastructure improvements.

Study for Developing Rainwater Harvesting Proposals for Gurugram

1. Introduction & background


DLF FOUNDATION approached SJ India in Nov 2024 to conduct a Comprehensive Survey &
Investigation for Developing Rainwater Harvesting Proposals for Gurugram. The work for the
project was initiated on 26/03/2025 with a meeting with concerned DLF FOUNDATION officials to
understand the scope of the project and a Site Visit for the concerned Locations.

After discussion, it is shared that DLF FOUNDATION has approached “AQUA EXPLORERS” for
a Comprehensive Water Management Plan for four phases of DLF FOUNDATION and “FURAAT
EARTH PVT.LTD” for Modular Rainwater Harvesting Technology.

2. Problem Statement:
DLF FOUNDATION Currently Has 93 Rainwater Harvesting Structures in Phase-I-IV with a
capacity of 500-700 KL. But most of them are nonfunctional due to sediment accumulation. The
current vision is to Enhance the capacity to 1500-2000 KL with a modular tank approach that can
tackle water-logging problems in the Hotspots.

Currently, there are severe water logging issues during the monsoon period with standing water
for 2-2.5 hrs. that need to be tackled.

3. Preliminary Site Visit:


A preliminary site visit is arranged on 27/03/2025 with DLF FOUNDATION officials for Phase-IV
waterlogged and Hotspot locations. The List of areas (Phase IV) are listed below with the
stakeholder discussion.

Logging Logging
Duration Depth

1 1100 Lane entry 1–1.5 hours 2 ft Rainwater logging begins after a heavy rainfall
event lasting 1.5 hours. One small water
retention tank exists. No drainage; low-lying
area. No RWH pit.

near Mother’s and connected covered RCC drains are 2
Pride / Geetanjali meters apart.

6 5500–5600 Lane, 2 hours 4 ft Two RWH pits exist (insufficient capacity).


T-point junction

7 6800 Lane 2.5 hours 3 ft Major outfalls are GMDA master drains on
opposite sides—drains on one side discharge
into the Galleria master drain, while those on
the other side flow into the Super Mart master
drain.

8 9300–9400 Lane, 1–1.5 hours 3 ft Three drains converge at this junction and
Garden Villa discharge into a Nala through one common
drain. Sewage lines run separately from
stormwater drains.

9 End of 8100 Lane 1–1.5 hours 2 ft One RWH pit exists (insufficient capacity).

4. Key Problems Identified


With preliminary observations, the key problems are listed below

✓ The primary drain levels for most areas are above the construction level of societies
leading to backwater flow during heavy rain which leads to water logging in the society.
✓ The main primary drain is not correctly sized to cater for the runoff of the entire catchment.
✓ The current RWH is very small to hold the excess runoff.

5. Way Forward:
The following tasks need to be performed way forward

➢ The catchment analysis for the waterlogged areas needs to be properly analyzed to
calculate the volume of the runoff
➢ The existing drainage size needs to be checked and the condition and connection with the
primary drains need to be assessed.
➢ The infiltration trench technology under the centre of the roads needs to be calculated to
store the high volume of excess runoff
➢ Installation of valves at Proper locations needs to be assessed to prevent the backflow at
time of heavy rain with proper valve operation.
