The Hidden Resource: Alita
Alita, located in Kacharakanahalli near Whitefield, Bangalore East, is a housing project that offers its residents not only affordable and purposefully designed homes but also a unique resource - proximity to the groundwater table. This advantage is often overlooked, yet it holds significant benefits for those who call Alita home.
The presence of Kacharakanahalli lake, Rajakaluve canals, and the groundwater table nearby makes Alita an ideal location for rainwater harvesting. By providing harvesting pits at regular distances within the project, Alita helps improve water saturation and increase the groundwater level. This not only benefits the residents of Alita but also contributes to the overall water supply in Bangalore.
But that is not all. The soil type in Alita, red soil, is fertile and well-drained, making it perfect for agriculture and landscaping purposes. Planting trees such as Jacaranda Mimosifolia, Tree-Mimusops Elengi, Albizia Lebbeck, Lagerstroemia Speciosa, and others not only adds to the aesthetic beauty of Alita but also helps maintain a healthy environment. This hidden resource is a valuable asset that sets Alita apart from other housing projects in the area.
