The Two Implemented Actions Include:

• An underground tank of 12 KL capacity has been constructed near the factory main building. Roof top rainwater from the building is fed to this tank through PVC pipes and then linked by a common pipe, which, in turn, is diverted to the tank

• Rainwater thus collected, is being used for gardening, toilets and the cooling tower
