Bengaluru: With drinking water becoming a scarcity as cities and towns are growing beyond limits, the State Government has tweaked the present rules governing water conservation, by enacting a Bill that makes it mandatory for owners of sites of dimensions 30’x40’ and above to have a rainwater harvesting system.
Law and Parliamentary Affairs Minister J.C. Madhuswamy tabled the Bill on behalf of Chief Minister S.R. Bommai in the Legislative Assembly yesterday. The House passed the Bill which envisages mandatory installation of a rainwater harvesting system in all homes built on sites measuring 30’x40’ and above.
