Who can harvest rainwater?
• Ideally rainwater harvesting is for any person planning to build a house or who is in the process of building a house on an independent plot in Bangalore. • It makes ecological and financial sense not to waste a pure natural resource available in large quantity on one’s roof. • In the case of a homebuilder, at an initial stage of construction, investments in time, design and money are minimal for adopting roof rainwater harvesting. • Ground water sources are increasingly getting depleted or are getting polluted. Borewells are either silting up, getting short of water or are drawing polluted water. • Private purchase of water from tankers is unreliable in quality and is also expensive. • It encourages water conservation and self-dependence.
