Dealing with private water tankers was one such issue. Sprinfields apartments in Sarjapur Road has been purchasing water from tankers since the owners got possession of their apartments in 2005. Mr Srinivasan from Springfields opens the discussion by pointing out the various challenges they have faced while dealing with private tankers and the lessons learnt. The discussion was then opened to the audience for everybody to participate and share their thoughts and experiences. Watch this video for some really great insights into the day to day issues faced by MC members from across Bangalore and also the measures they have taken to mitigate the challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"ApartmentADDA Water Conservation Workshop: Mr Srinivasan Springfields on Private Tankers\" width=\"1170\" height=\"878\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aZZU0Ar6d4E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;\"><b><span style=\"font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">Dealing with seepage in sumps<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 107%;\">We hardly ever know what was there on the foundation land of our apartment before our apartment was built? It may have been a land with heavy water logging, it may have been a dump yard. There is always a chance that there is high concentration of bacteria or other types of harmful pathogens in the ground in and around your apartment. These harmful\u00a0 pathogens may find their way into the water being used in the apartment through seepage inside the sumps. How do you arrest this seepage? You have to continuously monitor for crevices in the tanks, and keep re plastering them when you find too many crevices. This is not only a tedious job but stops water supply in your apartment for a few days too. Is there a better way to do things? Can there be a one-time solution to this problem? Watch this video for the\u00a0solution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Water workshop by ApartmentADDA Water proofing of tanks by Jyothi Electricals\" width=\"1170\" height=\"878\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6hix8L_SrC8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;\"><b><span style=\"font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">The Ones with the Success Stories<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">The following video is a case study of rain water harvesting by Mr Shivakumar P from SLS Spendour. As rightly said by Mr. Shivakumar, \u201cOne of the main intentions of these programs is that we share, we learn and then we implement.\u201d Mr. Shivakumar is someone who walks the talk. He had implemented the learnings from a previous ADDA workshop and found some huge benefits.

Like Mr Shivakumar, Mr. James had also carried back a lot of ideas from ADDA workshop organised in Feb 2012. He had also implemented rain water harvesting in his apartment using the insights gained in the workshop. However, in spite of having successful rain water harvesting system program in place, there were still water shortages. What was the solution? Watch this video as Mr. James explains how he has solved the problem of water shortage in his apartment by implementing water metering for individual apartments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Water Workshop by ApartmentADDA Success story Samhita Square James Jacob\" width=\"1170\" height=\"878\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rnXvz-T2qkg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;\"><b><span style=\"font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">The people with the solutions<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 9pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\">\u201cYou can\u2019t control what you don\u2019t measure,\u201d said Mr Kasturi Rangan introducing the concept of \u201cpay per use\u201d for water, as he went on to talk about water metering solutions in apartments.
