One such society is Roseland Residency in Pune's suburb Pimple Saudagar tgat has been implementing rainwater harvesting successfully for the past decade and has never had to buy a single tanker since.
"We were tired of facing a constant shortage of water in summer. A total of 2500 residents live here. Clearly, our water requirement is huge, and it simply wasn’t possible to spend so much money on tankers.
Therefore, in a society meeting, we decided to start harvesting rain", says a resident.

Today, all 22 bore wells get recharged with fresh rainwater every monsoon and society ends up saving over Rs 20 lakh every year.
Society has not only managed to remain tanker-free but has also managed to reduce water consumption drastically by employing some innovative solutions.

“We decided to modify the flush system of the water cistern, and introduced a filled water bottle inside the water tank.
This results in saving almost 30% water,” explains another resident.

Kudos to this housing society for setting an #inspiring example of #sustainability!
