Rainwater Harvesting at Alita: Eco-Friendly Water Management
Alita, located in the heart of Bangalore East, is a residential project that prioritizes eco-friendly living and sustainability. One of the key features of this project is its rainwater harvesting system, designed to optimize water usage and reduce waste.
The rainwater harvesting system at Alita is a comprehensive network of drains that collects rainwater from rooftops and directs it to designated harvesting pits. From there, the water is filtered and stored in underground tanks, which can hold up to 50,000 liters of water. This collected rainwater is then used for various purposes such as flushing toilets, washing machines, and watering plants.
By implementing this rainwater harvesting system, Alita aims to reduce its dependence on municipal water supply and promote sustainable water management practices. This not only helps conserve water but also reduces the burden on the citys sewerage system. Additionally, the use of rainwater for non-potable purposes helps to reduce the amount of potable water used, which in turn reduces the amount of wastewater generated. This closed-loop system contributes to a more sustainable and eco-friendly living environment for residents.
