Answers
Explanation:
Town planners and civic authority in many cities in India are introducing bylaws making rainwater harvesting compulsory in all new structures. No water or sewage connection would be given if a new building did not have provisions for rainwater harvesting.
Answer:
Building bye-laws are a set of standards used to regulate various facets of a building everything from its design to its safety features. In these 'Model Building Bye-Laws', the Town and Country Planning Organisation (TCPO) under the Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD) has created a guide for State Governments, Urban Local Bodies, Development Authorities to help them play a more effective role in enforcing the implementation of the master plans.
In the Indian context, this model bye-law comes at a time when there is rapid urbanisation happening without a regulatory mechanism and the 74th Constitutional Amendment empowers local bodies to prepare and enforce master plans, for orderly development of urban areas.
