CREDAI uptakes rain water harvesting all over India
As a responsive measure to the depletion of groundwater at a great speed, the apex body for real estate Confederation of Real Estate Developers’ Associations of India (CREDAI) has decided to adopt rain water harvesting as corporate social responsibility (CSR) this year.
The announcement comes two days following the Punjab and Haryana High Court directed the Haryana government not to issue permits for construction in Gurgaon unless builders ascertain that groundwater will not be used for construction.
CREDAI will take rain water harvesting as CSR activities throughout the country. The members of the association at state and city level would be geared up for rainwater harvesting.
Gurgaon, which is the hub for many multinational companies, is facing acute shortage of drinking water. Builders import water from the neighbouring cities to undertake construction and usage of groundwater is not allowed.
There would be no impact on the construction of existing projects but the fresh supply might get affected if builders do not get license for new projects, said experts.
