Necessitating India’s Water Use Efficiency
The first step in fixing a water budget in India is to have a system to monitor, regulate and curb wasteful uses of water. The proposed National Bureau of Water Use Efficiency as a body to enforce certification systems for water use efficiency can be seen as a welcome step in this direction.
Harnessing Rainwater for a resilient future
Rainwater harvesting is a scientific and controlled collection of rain for future use – identified as the most effective way to recharge groundwater. Despite its potential rainwater harvesting systems are still not thoroughly implemented in Indian cities.
