Water wisdom at SV Symphony Apartments

Initiatives UndertakenImpact
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 borewellBoth 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’ consentTanker 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
