The RWA has a huge reason to look forward to the NE monsoon
The Srinivasans would welcome the north-east monsoon when it arrives, but not with an air of desperation. The open well at their house offers water at just 4.5 feet below the rim. “We just need a bucket to draw water from the well,” says Bharath Srinivasan. Residents of Seethamma Extension Welfare Association (SEWA) in Teynampet are benefiting from a wise investment made last year — constructing 13 rainwater recharge wells on five roads (two main roads and three cross streets). While the exercise was aimed at checking water-logging, it has brought an added benefit their way.More Related News
