Water Crisis in Gurugram
Gurugram’s groundwater table has dropped by 3 metres since 2019. The Aravalli aquifer is being depleted faster than it can recharge, threatening the city’s long-term water security.
RWA Action Points
- Install rooftop rainwater harvesting (mandatory for plots above 300 sq m under GMDA rules)
- Commission a water audit — track usage, identify leaks, set reduction targets
- Maintain STP compliance and submit quarterly reports to HSPCB
- Plant native species requiring 60–80% less water than exotic landscaping
