Water is Life!
Our Cities during Rainfall!
Current Scenario*
• The city receives about 800 MM of Average rainfall per annum.
• From 2005-2013 , the ground Water level has dropped by 233%**.
• By 2031 , the water demand will increase by 122%**.
• Moreover, 60% **of Rain water or storm water is wasted or polluted as it is drained in sewer.
* The above data is For Gurgaon City.**As per Reports by Centre For Science and Environment , New Delhi
Concrete that percolates water
• Porous or Pervious, means allowing water to pass through.
• concrete with high porosity that allows water from precipitation and other sources to pass directly through.
Also called Permeable Concrete”-”No fines
Concrete”
So! How does it solve the Problem?
Efficient Storm Water Management:
0% Flooding or no standing water
Environmental Management:
100% Infiltration Capacity helps to recycle ground water reservoir .
Filter Rain water, helps reduce water Pollution
Reduce cost on Storm waterInfrastructure:
100% Cost saving
The Infiltration capacity of the Concrete varies from
varies from 72 to 500 litres/hrs. Thus saving rain
water by efficient storm water Management.
So! How does it Work ?
Where can I use it?
