Soon, city to get more rainwater harvesting plants
To counter water shortage, the BMC is turning to the eco-friendly method of rainwater harvesting. It has proposed setting up such plants on the premises of 43 municipal buildings across the city. The plan is to store rainwater in tanks. In November, bore wells will be dug. Each ward will build the rainwater harvesting plant in at least 10 locations.
Though the BMC has made rainwater harvesting plants mandatory for new constructions since 2002, Municipal Commissioner Jairaj Phatak agreed that the plan remains on paper. “Buildings have to construct two tanks, one for potable water and another for collection of rain water,” he said.
