Flushing water for a university, India

In the city of Pune in India, we supplied a tank for the storage of rainwater via a dealer. On the technical campus of the university in Pune, rainwater that falls on the roofs and car park is collected in an NPI water tank. This water is subsequently used on site as irrigation water and for flushing the toilets. This tank is fitted with a stretched anti-algae cover to make sure the water in the tank stays clean and free of leaves, debris or dirt.

In India, different types of properties are starting to collect and store rainwater. This is sometimes driven by government regulations, and other times by a commitment to more sustainable practices. Climate change is making water scarcity a bigger problem, so it is important to act now. In many parts of India, water shortages are common, especially in dry seasons. But rain still falls regularly in most areas, and it is free and often clean. By harvesting rainwater at residential, commercial, and institutional buildings, properties can reduce their use of groundwater and protect natural water sources.
