He stated that the Institution of Engineers (India) is the National organization of engineering professionals in India. It is the largest multi-disciplinary engineering professional society. He insisted everyone to become member of IEI and encouraged the students to apply for the project proposal for which the fundings are given in order to motivate the students.

About the Lecture

Dr.Sekhar Raghavan is the Director of Rain centre at Adyar, Chennai which was been inaugurated by the Former Chief Minister Late. Dr.J.Jayalalitha. Dr.Sekhar Raghavana is also known as Rain man. The speaker started the lecture explaining the need, relevance and importance of rainwater harvesting. During his lecture he explained to students about his initiating the rain centre which was a part of his Akash Ganga Trust that spreads awareness about rainwater conservation in a country that thirsts for water yet allows the precious fluid to go waste. Hence a universal access to water still remains an issue in India and in particular in Chennai. He also shared his experience in bridging the gaps between society and rainwater harvesting in his life long journey to keep the water-tables high and the groundwater sweet (as opposed to salty groundwater due to over-use and seawater ingress). In this case moving forward to the future generation and needs. It’s that time of year when we should start worrying about our rain water harvesting systems and get them ready for the coming rains. The speaker shared about the most common problems that can be expected in RWH structures for which he has given few tips to follow. The issues are deposit of silt picked up by rainwater from dirty rooftops and driveways. Take preventive measures like pruning tree branches, empty and clean the filters, wash, dry and fill them. Regularly check the roof top pipes for leaks and replace where necessary. Finally, the speaker concluded by saying save rainwater as it is free.
