Rainwater Harvesting for Housing Societies in Pune

Housing societies in Pune are increasingly adopting rainwater harvesting. Here's everything your society needs to know.

Why Should Your Society Have RWH?

1. Legal Compliance - PMC mandates RWH for societies above certain size
2. Water Security - Reduce dependence on municipal supply
3. Cost Savings - Lower water tanker expenses
4. Groundwater Recharge - Maintain water table levels
5. Property Value - Green buildings command premium

PMC Requirements for Societies

Rainwater harvesting is mandatory for:

• New societies with 20+ flats
• Existing societies using borewells
• Societies with plot area > 300 sq.m

Types of RWH Systems for Societies

1. Rooftop Collection

• Captures rain from building roofs
• Channeled to storage tanks or recharge pits
• Most common system for societies

2. Surface Runoff Collection

• Captures water from open areas
• Requires larger collection system
• Ideal for societies with gardens/parking

3. Recharge Well System

• Directs water to underground aquifer
• Improves borewell yield
