We are excited to share the progress on Omkara Pride’s water tank construction, designed with a capacity of 15 lakh liters.
While this marks a significant step in the project’s infrastructure development, it’s worth reflecting on the larger needs of the community. With 700 homes planned, is this water capacity truly enough to meet the demand?
We’d love to hear your thoughts! What do you think about water sustainability in growing communities like ours?
From a practical perspective, a 15-lakh-liter water tank for 700 homes does seem insufficient, especially in areas like Taloja where infrastructure and utilities might already be stretched due to rapid urbanization. Here’s a quick breakdown of why:
Daily Water Requirement:
- On average, a household of 4-5 people may require 500–600 liters per day for drinking, cooking, bathing, cleaning, and other needs.
- For 700 houses, the daily requirement could range from 3.5 lakh liters to 4.2 lakh liters.
- This means the water tank can only serve for 3–4 days without replenishment, assuming no other demands like landscaping or shared community facilities.
Sustainability Concerns:
- If this is the only water source for the community, it raises concerns about water management during shortages or peak usage periods.
- A backup plan, like connecting to municipal water supply or constructing additional tanks, might be necessary to avoid crises.
Long-Term Challenges:
- With population density increasing, the strain on resources like water could lead to conflicts or additional costs (like water tankers).
- Planning for higher capacity or alternative water sources (e.g., rainwater harvesting, borewells) would enhance the project’s sustainability.
My Honest Take:
This is an excellent opportunity to highlight the importance of infrastructure planning in the project’s marketing and community outreach. Instead of positioning it as a limitation, you could emphasize the steps being taken to meet community needs (e.g., provisions for water augmentation, exploring sustainable solutions). This approach can help maintain transparency while demonstrating responsibility. Would you like ideas on how to reframe the narrative or tackle the issue proactively?
