Rainwater Harvesting: A Sustainable Solution
In addition to fixing water issues, the city promotes rainwater harvesting to reduce water waste and lower utility bills. Collecting and using rainwater for household purposes like gardening, washing, and cleaning can significantly reduce reliance on municipal water supplies.
Rainwater harvesting offers several benefits:
- Cost Savings: Lower water bills by using free rainwater.
- Eco-Friendly: Reduce the strain on natural water resources.
- Convenience: Ensure water availability during municipal outages.
