Ahmedabad: Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has decided to install rainwater harvesting systems on the rooftops of all zonal offices, sub-zonal offices, ward offices, hospitals, schools, urban health centres, libraries, water pumping stations, drainage pumping stations, and other buildings of the civic body.
Additionally, a five-year operation and maintenance plan will be implemented, with a budget of Rs 5.32 crore. The proposal will be presented for approval at the road and building committee meeting on Dec 16. Although percolating wells are constructed in all new buildings by the AMC, they are not functioning effectively, leading to the decision to install rainwater harvesting systems in new buildings as well.
