The training included sessions on the hows and whys of rainwater
harvesting. It was interesting to understand the water management
practices at each of these industries.
- The sugar industries work only
for 4-5 months of the year in the dry months and are closed in the
monsoon months for maintenance and that is when they receive most of
their rain. How does one store rainwater over long periods of time ? - The 2 wheeler manufacturing industry manages only with
harvested rainwater as well as treated waste water. However there
were issues with the quality of harvested rainwater.

The participants
interest and experience with RWH ensured that all sessions stayed interactive. This led to good discussions as well as
good learning for both the trainers and the trainees.
The afternoon session was a trip to the RWH Theme park (a good resource center for practical demonstrations of RWH) in Jayanagar, Bangalore.
Many thanks to NVIRON for the opportunity
