The rain harvesting idea is catching up in the metropolis with an aim to replenish groundwater reserves and use rainwater for gardening and irrigation instead of wasting the valuable resource.
Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Karachi Ameer Monem Zafar Khan, along with Gulberg Town Chairman Nusratullah, visited various rainwater harvesting system sites across Gulberg Town on Tuesday during the rainfall to review their functionality.
Following it's successful implementation in Federal B Area Blocks 10, 11, and 20, the rainwater harvesting system has also been activated in Block 3, Hussainabad, specifically at Khatun-e-Jannat Park. The recent rains have shown promising and encouraging results from these systems.
Under this project, not only rainwater but also the water used for ablution in mosques is being collected and preserved. Instead of being wasted, this water first gathers in a chamber, from where it is filtered through a small well and then transferred into a larger underground reservoir. This method contributes to the recharge of groundwater and directly benefits the local population. Speaking on the occasion, Monem Zafar Khan stated that such projects were a positive step toward resolving public issues related to water and rainfall.
