Waterlogging out, harvesting in

Residents of Greater Kailash-I seem to have found a novel way to battle the persistent problem of water-logging in the area.

The Resident’s Welfare Association (RWA) of the R-Block in Greater Kailash (GK) -I is building rain water harvesting tanks at places where water logging is a big problem.

“We are constructing plants where water logging is common. This way, water will not stay on the roads and will get accumulated in the tanks,” said U.C. Mathur, secretary of the RWA.The water will get filtered once in the tanks and will then be released into the ground. 

“We are not using the water for consumption. It will be released into the soil,” said Mathur. The colony already has two water harvesting tanks, one of which has addressed the problem of water logging.The third one is under construction and will be functional by May-end.
