Reason why this Bengaluru man hasn't paid his water bills will blow your mind
AR Shivakumar has been receiving enough water for his family to use every year without an issue
Many people waste water and it is only during droughts that they feel the pinch of their actions. A Bengaluru man however hasn't faced water problems in over two decades and he hasn't even paid water bills because of his innovative sustainable lifestyle.
According to a media report, AR Shivakumar has built a sustainable water harvesting system that gives him more water than he ever requires. The senior scientist at the Karnataka State Council for Science and Technology had designed a system in his house that yields as much as 400 litres a day. The scientist however doesn’t just have enough he has excess water that would even suffice for his household need if there was a drought.
Shivakumar’s system lets his family of four easily use 400 litres of water a day without issues unlike other people in Bengaluru. The water is kitchen sink, washing machine and rooftop into an underground system that recycles the water to be reused.
