Nature is intelligent and quite self evolving, adapting to changes quietly & inaudibly as the world transforms, grows and mutates, and while most times Mother Nature is quite undemanding there are some instances when she sends gentle (and sometimes not so gentle) reminders that modernisation at the expense of disturbing her carefully maintained natural balance wont always go down well with her. This possibly explains why mankind has thought of ingenious ways and means of ensuring that as the globe continues to expand & become more progressive, Mother Nature’s delicate circle of life and environment doesn’t get hampered or disturbed in any way.

Ingenuity at work

Among the many environ preservation measures we’ve seen in the recent years, some have been path breaking and the pioneering to the extent that they’ve contributed, supplemented and given back much more than they’ve originally taken. A case in point being solar panels, smart recycling and rain water harvesting among others.

Moreover, if one is to filter down the most significant initiatives and pinpoint to perhaps the ones that have been most contributory, undoubtedly rain water harvesting comes up tops in the chart. What’s more, this initiative has been one that has caught the world by storm for its efficiency, practicality and the massive causative effect it has had on the water problems plaguing the earth today.

Where it’s being implemented

Lets just say in simple terms that rain water harvesting is being implemented everywhere and by everyone. Nations, cities, small hamlets, individuals and responsible citizens have found the solution to water scarcity in the form of rain water harvesting and one can say it is being implemented at the grass roots level everywhere. Safe to say that on a macro level the process is to be noticed at every nook and corner.

That said, if one is to analyse on a micro level the number of residential projects and corporates implementing the harvesting system the picture isn’t yet very encouraging. Here it is important to understand that residential projects and corporates are considered to be large water guzzlers and hence they are important links in the entire chain. So while one can say that the rain water harvesting system has been an immense success on the one hand, the other contrary picture does speak otherwise.

Why WE harvest this resource

In this time and age, where modernisation is all pervasive and perhaps a bit too invasive, the need to preserve and safeguard every possible resource, especially water, is one that has occupied prime importance in our blueprint from the time of inception of our Ananda Habitat.

Our Habitat is-

We have consciously struck a harmonious balance with nature and made provisions for maintaining equilibrium between modern amenities and the natural world such that our project doesn’t come across as a clinical chrome, glass and steel residential maze but rather a lovingly preserved sanctum where inhabitants are invited to experience the joy of living and giving back to Mother Nature just as divinity must have planned it.

It’s a conscious effort, not an obligation

Ananda Habitat at Oragadam has been chalked out organically and every facet of our project speaks of our concern and initiative towards making sustainable environ preservation an intrinsic part of our inhabitants life. To that end, our rain water harvesting system has employed the basic principles of the method along with scientific observations that have been effectively put to work so as to maximise conservation and concurrently cutting back on any damaging development methods employed in the process.

Our system aims to-

Efficiently utilising the doctrines of water harvesting keeping in mind the factors of the topography of Ananda Habitat, our project layout ensures that the collection, filtration and supply don’t need additional energy and are done so using basic guidelines of gravity, groundwater table, underground sump capacities, maximising the potential of the catchment areas and ensuring it is successfully connected to the whole of Ananda Habitat’s plumbing network.

What’s more, we have also resourcefully planned for the collection of excess rain water and preserving it as a reservoir for future use.
