Rainwater harvesting
This initiative is all about enlightening people on how to harness this precious water source in tandem with local bodies, co-operative societies and governmental institutions. We have been successful in saving over 600 million litres of rainwater till date.
Why rainwater harvesting?
India is blessed with abundant rainfall but often does not have adequate water because rainwater is allowed to flow free with barely 3% being retained. In addition, water is indiscriminatingly drawn by bore wells & tankers, while ingress of seawater in coastal areas contaminates the underground natural 'aquifers'. Hence, it is important to look at rainwater differently.
