Rainwater harvesting in Bangalore: Who are the real beneficiaries?
Author: K P Vidyashankar

I have used a pop up filter (rainy type) to filter rain water and inject it into a open well. The water in the open well sometimes stinks and it is not clear where the contamination has occurred because all wells in the area are smelling. In our area water is available at about 7 feet depth. Obviously rooftops have bird droppings as a major source of infection. Now by pouring the filtered water into the open well -

Manjunath M P presents the letter he sent to the Chairman, BWSSB. Posted on 23 Apr, 2012 12:47 PM

Dear Chairman BWSSB,
