Water Conservation Practices Adopted at our Projects

1. We have installed a scientifically designed sewage treatment plant, adopting best-in-class treatment technology of sequencing batch reactor process for tertiary re-use such as flushing and landscape with potential savings of around 35% of freshwater demand in all our projects.
2. Most of our recently completed projects have installed a dual plumbing system to supply both potable water and treated water for flushing to the individual dwelling units, thereby reducing the demand for fresh water.
3. We are using treated water in air-conditioning for all our commercial projects.
4. We are in the process of installing triple line plumbing in our future projects which comprises of plumbing lines viz., one line for fresh water exclusively to be used for drinking and cooking, second line for flushing water and third line for ultra-filtered water (treated water after passing through Ultra-Filtration, for further use in domestic purposes other than drinking).
5. We are able to achieve savings of up to 5% of freshwater demand through installation of smart water meters enabled by combined efforts towards ensuring behavioural changes of the end users and levying charges based on the actual water consumption.
6. We have pre-installed aerators in all the wash basins and kitchen sinks in the apartments across the residential portfolio with savings of around 30 to 40% of the total freshwater demand being achieved. We have installed dual flush cistern (6LPF/3LPF) in all our apartments to reduce the volume of water used to flush different types of waste.
7. We have installed waterless urinals in all our commercial buildings as a measure to reduce overall water consumption.
8. Efficient rainwater harvesting system to harvest rooftop rainwater into collection tanks at 60 lit/sqm of rooftop area which will be treated in a water treatment plant and used for domestic purposes.
9. We have ensured ground water recharge by providing deep recharge wells and shallow recharge pits, to recharge the ground water/sub surface water by channelizing the rainwater from the surface run-off.
10. Installation of onsite renewable energy-solar panels for hot water generation and PV panels for common area lighting.
11. Use of treated water for construction purposes - curing purposes, dust suppression etc.
12. Capping of turf area to <20% with respect to percentage of total landscape area is done across all projects to minimise water consumption.
13. Creation of retention ponds of varying capacities in all ongoing Brigade projects, thereby increasing the ground water table in and around the project area.
