Summer should conjure up visions of long cool showers and lazing around in a deep blue pool with a chilled drink but for most Hyderabadis, summer is that awful time of the year when we are frantically calling for tankers that cost more than the kids school fees or waking up at 4 am to store two buckets of drinking water. Drooping, dried up plants and lawns and the deafening din of someone drilling a bore well that pumps not a drop of water are what most Hyderabadis associate with summer. This is the situation in an upscale locality like Jubilee Hills.<\/a><\/p>\n Just a few kilometres away, is Mastananagar, a lower middle class area. The situation is even grimmer here. \u201cWe get only 2 buckets of water, once in 4 or 5 days,\u201d says Revathi, a domestic helper who lives here. This would not be the situation if residents became aware of how to recharge groundwater and make the most use of rainwater harvesting.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n We had the pleasure of meeting one of the members of SAHE (Society for Advancement of Human Endeavour), Ms\u00a0 Kalpana Ramesh at her lovely, eco-friendly home.<\/p>\n
