Costs

How much will it cost to catch rain?

When community come together to harvest rain, the per-capita investment goes down. For instance, Panchsheel Park Colony about 1000 residents pooled in Rs 4.5 lakh to harvest more than 170 million litres of water annually.

Training Course on Urban Rainwater Harvesting

Every summer, there is a big hue and cry for drinking water in our cities. Rapid urbanisation and industrialisation is leading to overexploitation and pollution of water resources. It leads to scarcity of water. On the other hand our water demands are increasing day by day.

Maintenance and Monitoring

Once you have installed a RWH system it is a good idea to also set a system for monitoring.

• How much water you are catching
• How much of this you are using
• How much you are recharging
• This will help you to provide concrete evidence of the impact of rainwater harvesting
• If the data is positive it will help to catalyse other people to follow in your footsteps.
