Water is becoming a scarce commodity and every individual has to preserve water in the best ways possible. Rainwater Harvesting Systems are the need of the hour and Gujarat state is embarking on a major drive to save rain water.

As a part of Atma Nirbhar Bharat, PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Gujarat Chapter carried out a detailed meeting on steps to be taken for rain water harvesting.

Mr. Ashish Desai, Chair, Gujarat State Chapter, PHDCCI, says, “Water is a scarce resource. Too much water is wasted as it is free. We have failed to preserve water in the best ways possible and hence are facing problems. We as individuals and as an industry need to join in united efforts to save water, not only for us but also for our next generation. Every Drop saved is important, every drop saved is critical”.

Ahmedabad is where they want rainwater harvesting pits to be implemented first and will later shift to other cities of Baroda and Surat.

Setu Shah, Founder, Sujalaam, Ahmedabad says, “Despite good rain we are not able to save water. India gets the highest average rainfall per square kilometre in the world. Water in India is over-extracted, mismanaged, leakage, wastage and contamination.”
