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.
