Rainwater harvesting cost in Korea

₹1.1 lakh to ₹1.7 lakhfor a house with a 100 m² roof, GST included

That buys a filter on the downpipe and a recharge pit with a 120 ft recharge bore, which sends about 1,08,460 litres of Korea's rain back into the ground every year. The bore is the biggest cost, so the final price depends on how deep the water-bearing layer is under your plot.

Cost by building size in Korea

Each recharge pit (2 × 2 × 2.5 m with a 120 ft bore) takes the water from a 25 mm downpour on about 280 m² of roof. Bigger roofs need more pits.

Is it worth it in Korea?

49%Safe

Korea pumps out 49% of the groundwater that can safely be taken out each year (2025, Central Ground Water Board), rated safe. Groundwater is within safe limits, and recharge keeps it that way as the city grows. A house system puts back about 11 water tankers of 10,000 litres a year.

Rainwater harvesting rules in Chhattisgarh

No statewide rainwater harvesting law was confirmed. Official replies say municipal corporations such as Raipur require rooftop RWH for new buildings with a roof area over 500 sq ft. In 2024 Raipur Municipal Corporation told township developers to build at least 50 recharge pits each.
