Action to be taken- Rain Water Harvesting (RWH)
 Cities need to ensure that the RWH provisions are incorporated in State Building Bye-
Laws (BBLs)
 Effective enforcement mechanism to be put in place for providing RWH structures in all
buildings as stipulated under BBLs.

effective monitoring of Rain Water Harvesting in each city.
 ULBs will ensure that all government buildings (Central/State/ULB) must have RWH
structures. Non functional structures in above buildings should be made functional during
this period.
 ULBs should check that all public buildings like educational institutions, commercial
establishments, hospitals, etc have got RWH structures. If such structures are not there, action
needs to be taken to develop such structure during the period.

hydrants, Large scale construction activities etc.

bodies needs to be revived to store water and recharge ground water.
 Every city must initiate action to revive at least one water body during Jal Shakti
Abhiyan.

traps, etc. may be undertaken.
 Creation of public spaces may be taken up to ensure public eye and vigilance to protect
from encroachment or throwing garbage.
