It’ll be at government schools, hospitals, and offices
To help resolve the issue of depleting groundwater, the Kalaburagi City Corporation is taking steps to carry out a rainwater harvesting system at government schools, hospitals, and office buildings. Corporation Commissioner Snehal S. Lokhande, speaking to The Hindu on Saturday, said that the officials have been instructed to check the depletion of groundwater by taking up rainwater harvesting points on the rooftops of government schools, hospitals, and offices buildings. It is the need of the hour to tackle the water problem prevailing in the district, he added. In the proposed ₹30.26-crore action plan for 2020-21, nearly ₹7.56 crore has been allocated for drinking water and rainwater harvesting and reuse, and ₹2.56 crore has been allocated for recharging the existing borewells and to set up rainwater harvesting pits in gardens and open places in the city, and around ₹37.8 lakh has been marked for the treatment of greywater and reuse, he added.
