‘Rainwater harvesting must in all buildings’
All buildings in the city should have rainwater
harvesting structures as per government order, Corporation Commissioner
V.P.Thandapani has said.
The structures, if in disuse, should be renovated and brought into use.
Disconnection
If
the structures were found to be in disuse through, drinking water
supply would be disconnected, Mr.Thandapani warned in a press release.
Stressing
the importance of having the structures in view of the rapid depletion
of the ground water table, Mr.Thandapani said building plan approvals
would not be issued if the plans do not include provisions for rain
water harvesting structures.
