Explanation:
As a water conservation measure, Government has given an unprecedented thought to proposals such as RainWater Harvesting. Keeping this in view, CMWSSB has decided to embark upon popularising the RWH techniques among the residents of Chennai city, as also in the neighbouring areas.
Considering the importance of Rainwater harvesting in conserving the precious ground water resource, the Board has taken initiative to constitute a fully dedicated "Rain Water Harvesting Cell". The main objective of the Cell is to create awareness and to offer technical assistance free of cost to the residents and also to provide to the citizens 'cost effective solutions'. CMWSSB has created several models, detailed designs etc., which are available in the form of brochures, booklets and are being distributed to the public. In the recent past, we have also tried to disseminate related information through electronic and print media quite vigorously. An Information Centre on RWH was opened from 10.8.2001 onwards at the CMWSS Board Head Office.
Efforts were taken to convert the Rain Water Harvesting campaign launched by the Government as people's movement. A number of seminars/ workshops and exhibitions were organised involving various Government agencies, NGOs and private individuals. As a result of this intensive campaign the Rain Water Harvesting has become popular in Chennai city and the people are adopting it on their own.
Regular training programme are being conducted at the Metrowater Resources Centre for the benefit of public, private engineers and building workers.
A list of Resource Persons has been prepared and made available. Details on RWH have also been put up on the Metrowater website.
