Tiruchi Corporation begins establishing rainwater harvesting pits

Water logging during the rainy season has been a major issue in the city
In an effort to prevent waterlogging in vulnerable spots and recharge groundwater, Tiruchi Corporation has launched a drive to establish roadside rainwater harvesting pits in different parts of the city. Water logging during the rainy season has been a major issue in the city for several years. It often exposes the poor stormwater discharge whenever the city experiences rain. Several roads and streets are inundate with water by rain spanning just 30 minutes. If the rain is heavy, it invariably requires the intervention of Corporation workers to remove silt and blockages in drainages to drain out water from the affected areas.More Related News
