Water wisdom at SV Symphony Apartments
| Initiatives Undertaken | Impact |
| Rooftop rainwater harvesting – rainwater from the larger part of the roof was stored in a sump after filtration, and the overflow was sent to recharge one borewell | Both borewells became functional and started yielding well, but one borewell is able to meet the apartment’s water demand for most of the year |
| Direct borewell recharge of second borewell with rainwater runoff from the smaller part of the roof after filtration | |
| Closing the swimming pool that needed 13 KL of water every day after obtaining residents’ consent | Tanker water requirement has been reduced from 50 tankers a month to 2-3 tankers a month, resulting in huge savings that helped recover the capital costs of Rs 160,000 for installing RWH systems in no time! |
| Dysfunctional STP was repaired with voluntary contributions of Rs 2 lakhs from flat owners and treated water is used for flushing toilets | |
| Aerators for all taps have been mandated in all flats |
