My two cents worth of thoughts on 'Rain water management and the government'


Government should lead by example on the rain water management.

Government should start with a proper plan on the rain water that goes into the drain. This means the whole thing starts on the outskirts of the city where the drain water ends and the goverment plans the right water management system in there. Then slowly move towards the heart of the city implementing and connecting the drains correctly and leading these drains into the water management system built on the outskirts.

For example: Is BANGALORE BBMP or CHENNAI METROPOLITAN WATER SUPPLY AND SEWERAGE BOARD capable of this?

If they are successful, the city water woes could be a thing of the past.

If the same is done on sewage treatment, we will have better rivers, lakes and beaches in India. Since only treated water will flow to these water bodies.

Do you like brown murky beaches or the clear blue ones?
