A sump is an underground (or partially underground) tank that is popular in India. It is usually used for large water tank storage and can be built cheaply using cement-like materials. It is usually part of a rainwater harvesting system, where the rainwater gets channeled into the tank, then pumped out for use.
- It will be ideal if the location of the sump is at the front portion of the home like an area below the car porch.
- It is also advisable to have the underground sump close to the main roads where the water lines pass through as it will be easy to give a connection.
- In the east of north-east and north of north-east is most beneficial.
- Avoid constructing sumps in the south-east, north-west, and in south-west corners of the plot.
- An underground sump should not be constructed at the center of the plot at any cost.
- Minimum capacity - 3 days
- Maximum capacity - 5 days
