Water and its consumption are in talks from years and scarcity of water is becoming a real issue creating the shortage of drinking water in both rural and urban areas. Although three fourth of our planet is made of water, only a little of it can be used for drinking and domestic purpose and the rest go vain in oceans and seas. As a consequence, we are experiencing the constant shortage of water in the world, creating a worst situation in drought and summer time.
Bengaluru becoming a major victim for Water scarcity
In 1960, Bengaluru was blessed with nearly 262 tanks/lakes with Hesaraghatta and Thippondanahalli lakes being the primary source of water for us. Due to rapid Urbanization and Industrialization, many of the lakes got closed and now we’ve left with only 82 lakes with less than 10 having water in it. The City which was known for its ‘Lake Culture’ with abundant sources of water is now facing the challenge of drift. As per BWSSB estimate, the city needs 1042 MLD of water. However, availability from various sources is 787 MLD and the deficit is 255 MLD.
One way to combat this shortage is by harvesting the little rain water we receive. Yes, you guessed right? I’m talking about ‘Rain Water Harvesting’.
Let me keep it Simple. The basic idea behind Rain Water Harvesting process is the collection of rain water, storage and its utilization at a later point. In short, it is a process of collecting, filtering, storing and utilizing the rain water for human use.
Considering 15% of rain water saved from rain water harvesting from the Bangalore comprehensive area, we can have 510 MLD of water every day. It’s HUGE!
