 Last year, we urged Housing Societies to play Dry Holi<\/a>. We also asked for no Rain Dance. It got quite popular.<\/p>\n

Now what we are going to say may seem unpopular at start, but do bear with us and read through.<\/p>\n

We happened to take a closer looks at RainDance during Holi in Mumbai Housing Societies. <\/p>\n

What we found changed our mind.<\/p>\n

Scenario 1: Regular Holi \/ Dry Holi.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Residents gather at a common area, play Holi, enjoy the Music and Dance, they go back to their own Apartments and wash up. <\/p>\n

Water Usage by each Flat = 1.5X <\/p>\n

Hence, Load on Sewage Treatment Plant = 1.5X<\/p>\n

Electricity used for pumping up the extra water = 1.3X<\/p>\n

Water Usage to clean all common area in each Block, Lifts = Substantial.<\/p>\n

Getting the flow..? Do read on.<\/p>\n

Scenario 2: Regular Holi \/ Dry Holi PLUS Rain Dance<\/h2>\n

Residents gather at a common area, play holi, enjoy the Music and Dance. At the end, there is a 30-45 minutes Rain Dance where everyone who played Holi join in, dance or simply stand and enjoys the cool sprinkles in the hot sun.<\/p>\n

The infrastructure for the Raindance is 1-2 Tankers that supply a mesh of pipes arranged on a bamboo structure.. The pipes have small holes through which water sprinkles down. A standalone generator and pump gets the water around the mesh.  <\/p>\n

That’s simply a Community Shower! Does remind us of the cheeky saying " Save Water, Shower Together"..<\/p>\n

If timed well, the same amount of Water gets used as in Scenario 1.<\/p>\n

But the Electricity for pumping up Water to an Overhead Tank 20-30 floors up, is saved.<\/p>\n

The water needed to clean up Common Area of each Block or Lift is saved.<\/p>\n

The plumbing infrastructure is spared from the sudden load.<\/p>\n

AND! If planned well the raindance waste water can be channeled away into soft soil rather than enter the Sewage Treatment Plant!<\/p>\n

So if your Cultural Committee plans it well, RainDance could actually be a smart way of tackling the Water Usage during Holi!<\/p>\n

What do you think? <\/p>\n

Happy Rang Barse this Holi!<\/p>\n
