Real estate projects including commercial or residential projects, without rainwater management plan, will not be approved by the authority, informed Chairman RDA Tariq Mehmood Murtaza.
The initiative is aimed at introducing eco-friendly measures to utilise rainwater for rainwater harvesting, to tackle the issue of diminishing freshwater resources, becoming the second rainwater harvesting city in Punjab, the RDA Chairman said. The authority also announced to redirect collected rainwater for ablution, and the ablution water to be recycled into watering public parks.
