This is the prime time for the Chennaites, to think about harnessing rainwater and to set ready for plummeting groundwater stages.
According to the Rain Centre, a city-based charitable organization, two main institutions namely R.K. Mutt in Mylapore and Cancer Institute will be soon adept the benefits of the rains.The water insufficiency of these two institutions has been currently balanced by the Mandavelipakkam-based centre to meet their water needs.
Cancer Institute, get hold of nearly hundreds of patients on the daily basis, does not have adequate water sources. Its campus is short of proper rainwater harvesting arrangements, said the Sekar Raghavan, director of the Rain Centre.
Summer is the prime time for structuring rainwater harvesting systems, since the groundwater level will be underneath 10 feet. It is vital to strike the precise manner of soil for superior percolation.
We are planning to pursue our work for a total of 12 wells at a depth of 15 feet on both the buildings at a cost of Rs.9 lakhs, he stated.
With these frameworks, the Mutt and the cancer institute will be able to hoard 2.9 Crore litres of water every year.To know more details, buzz the Rain Centre at 044-24616134 or 24918415.
