140 Societies Fail Rainwater Norms

14 Nov 2024 2 Min Read CW Team
Around 140 residential societies in Noida and Greater Noida have been found failing to comply with mandatory rainwater harvesting norms, raising concerns about water conservation and environmental responsibility. The norms were introduced to ensure that urban areas make better use of natural water sources, especially during monsoon season, by harvesting rainwater for reuse and recharging groundwater levels.

The failure of these societies to maintain the required infrastructure for rainwater harvesting puts a strain on the local water table and reduces the effectiveness of broader water conservation efforts. Authorities have expressed concerns about the long-term sustainability of the region’s water supply, which has already been under pressure due to rapid urbanization and growing population. Many of these societies have failed to install or maintain systems that could capture and store rainwater, which is crucial for ensuring the sustainability of water resources.

Local officials have emphasized the need for residents and developers to take responsibility and invest in proper rainwater harvesting systems. While some societies have faced challenges in meeting the norms due to space constraints or lack of awareness, the government has warned that stricter measures may be enforced to ensure compliance.

These violations highlight the importance of adherence to environmental norms and the need for better management of water resources in urban areas. As urban centers like Noida and Greater Noida continue to grow, enforcing such regulations will be crucial for ensuring a sustainable future and protecting the local environment.
