AHMEDABAD:<\/strong> This week the\u00a0AMC<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>sought permission from the standing committee to launch its ambitious ‘percolating wells scheme’ for residential societies to promote groundwater recharge. Under this scheme, the AMC will bear 80% of the cost of construction while the rest will be borne by the residential society. The\u00a0scheme<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0has been placed on the agenda of the committee’s meeting scheduled for Thursday.<\/p>\n

With this essential nudge, the AMC plans to overcome a hurdle confronting the construction of the wells. Four years ago, the AMC had slapped 1,209\u00a0notices<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0on multi-storeyed\u00a0buildings<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0including apartments, asking them to show their groundwater percolating wells. These wells were made mandatory in 2001 for rainwater harvesting, according to the General Development Control Regulations (GDCR). In the posh West and New West zones alone, the AMC had issued about 730 notices. According to the\u00a0GDCR<\/strong><\/a>, all building units larger than 1,000 sq m must have a rainwater tank with adequate capacity. For buildings with ground coverage of more than 80 sq m but below 500 sq m, a percolation pit was mandated. Nothing major came out after these notices were issued. “The notices were not diligently followed up back then. But with this new incentive scheme, we will see how the societies respond,” said a senior official of the estate and town planning department of the AMC.<\/p>\n
