It's not only in the village but everywhere that the conservation of water has become an important thing. In fact I heard that in many places including Delhi, it is mandatory to make a provision for rain water harvesting structure when constructing a house.

Oh! You mean that some place should be left for Conserving water?

That's what I was told.I don't know if it is actually followed. The structure need not be a big one. Even a simple pipe like structure on the roof edge could serve the purpose of collecting the rain water.

Many major cities in south India too are now seriously considering implementing rain water harvesting.Apparently it can be successfully implemented only in places that have a high altitude where water gets drained into the soil and not in coastal cities..

True, but instead the water that just goes into drain can be collected into barrels and used for cleaning and gardening purposes. A few of my English friends do that even though there is lot of rain in England. They collect the rainwater in huge barrels and use that for such purposes. We can implement that in India too instead of wasting purified water supplied by the local municipal corporations.

That is a good idea. We simply cannot afford to waste water , in times to come we may end up regretting...I see that in Bangalore many households collect rain water and use it for gardening and washing cars etc...

Even in the north east India collecting rain water is a way of life. Whenever, it rains , people would collect the rain water in bucket, barrel etc and use for every domestic purposes including washing clothes, bathing etc.
