Chennai is on the path to becoming flood-free
Chennai is on the path to becoming flood-free.
A city where rain once brought chaos is now using a smarter solution to fix two big problems: flooding and falling groundwater levels.
Inspired by Germany’s rainwater harvesting system, Chennai is building underground catch pits that can store up to 40 lakh litres of rainwater.
These pits help filter the water and send it back into the ground.
In 2022, Germany built over 60,000 such systems.
Now, our Indian city is putting this idea into action on a large scale.
