In a move that could have far reaching implications, the Tamil Nadu state government has issued two orders: one on rainwater harvesting and the other on use of groundwater in and around Chennai. The installation of RWH structures in all existing multi storeyed and public buildings in the Chennai city is now made mandatory and the structures should be installed within a year, according to an order of the Municipal Administration and Water Supply department.
