Can
our footpaths be porous?
Harvest
rainwater through your walk paths.
In
Bangalore, a kilometer of walk path with porous pavements has a
potential to harvest 30 lakh liter of
rainwater per year. With moderate percolation efficiency of 75%, around 15
families of Bangalore can depend
entirely on recharged ground water all through the year.
Can we
bring in this change?
Porous
foot paths are cheaper to build and easy to maintain compared to conventional
foot paths.
