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.
