Rooftop Rainwater Harvesting & Groundwater recharge in urban areas
The
Department of Water Resources (DoWR), Govt. of Odisha, has launched a new
Scheme during FY 2014-15 for Rooftop Rainwater Harvesting & Ground Water
Recharge in urban areas of the State.Ground water serves as a major source of
domestic water supply across the State. Due to rapid urbanization,the scope of
natural ground water recharge is being reduced day by day.The objective of
this Scheme is to execute large numbers of Rooftop Rainwater Harvesting Systems
(RRHS) in private and Govt.buildings,which will improve ground water table
and ground water quality situations in these areas.It will also help in
reduction of flash floods in towns.
