HYDERABAD: The Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWS&SB) proposes to construct 100 rain water harvesting structures (RWHS) in each division.
The RWH structures will be built in common places like colonies, municipal parks, playgrounds, community centres, schools and college premises, government buildings and around abandoned and defunct borewells where there is a possibility of flow of rain water.
All the operation and maintenance divisions of the board, including Single Window Cell and general managers of divisions XVIII, XIX & XX, will take up construction of at least 100 RWH structures as per the instructions of board managing director B Janardhan Reddy.
The site selection will be made by O&M managers in consultation with the consultant of the ground water department and representatives of resident welfare associations. The sites will be tracked with mobile application duly capturing the longitude, latitude and image of the site.
Care should be taken to see that sewerage water does not flow towards the rain water harvesting structures.Estimates will be prepared by the manager of O&M section based on the feasibility report submitted through mobile application. Administrative sanction and technical sanction will be accorded by the general managers and chief general managers concerned. The mobile app will be provided to managers, DGMs, GMs, agencies and the ground water consultant for uploading the progress of work with geo-tagging.
Monitoring of work will be done by the managers, DGMs, GMs and CGMs concerned along with the ground water consultant and representatives of resident welfare associations.
