In a city that is literally sinking, water conservation has become a critical issue. Mumbai has been facing serious water shortages over the last few years and this is putting pressure on both citizens and corporations alike. In order to manage the crisis, BMC (Mumbai Municipal Corporation) has started strategic water conservation projects in addition to undertaking programs like ‘Every Drop Counts’. Housing societies have also taken up initiatives for water conservation such as rainwater harvesting systems which are very popular among Mumbaikars. Corporations have also contributed by installing irrigation systems at their premises so that they can use recycled municipal sewage water to grow vegetables or fruits.
– Preserving water for the future of Mumbai is important. The city needs to reduce its dependency on water from outside sources and instead, store rainwater so that it can be used in times when there are shortages. Mumbaikars have made a pledge to conserve 20% more water than before which will go towards these efforts. We must also do what we can in our day-to-day lives to reduce water usage.
Water conservation in Mumbai is not just for the government or corporations, it’s a responsibility that every citizen shares and needs to commit to. With accurate awareness about water management, Mumbaikars are working hard on reducing their dependency on ground water sources as well as minimizing water wastage.
Water saving devices like water saving nozzles, aerators and flow regulators can be installed in home and office to reduce water usage and its economical too.
For every drop saved, there’s less pressure on the existing water sources which will help us conserve this resource for the future of Mumbai!
