Special Correspondent
BANGALORE: A Rainwater Harvesting Mela will be held at the Jawahar Bal Bhavan at Cubbon Park here on March 20 in connection with the World Water Day.
Organised jointly by the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB), the Karnataka State Council for Science and Technology and Arghyam, the mela will feature stalls set up by BWSSB and several rainwater harvesting service providers.
To be open between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., the mela will give an opportunity to the citizens to get clarifications on the procedures to adhere to the amended BWSSB Act 2009 that seeks to make it mandatory for house owners to install rainwater harvesting system by May 27, 2010.
The event also provides an opportunity to the citizens meet rainwater harvesting service providers, consultants and plumbers. “They will explain how you could implement rainwater harvesting for your house or building,” said Arghyam.
