ROTARY
'SAVE WATER' CAMPAIGN WASRAG - Water and Sanitation Rotarian Action Group is undertaking a number of projects and initiatives, particularly on 'Water' , which is one of the most scarce resources today, with India and Africa being some of the worst hit countries. Sadly, there isn't enough safe drinking water available worldwide compared to our demand. But unlike Power, we can save and store Water for later use. Our strategy in Rotary is to promote an integrated approach comprising collection and storage of Rainwater for non-drinking purposes, purification of raw Rainwater to make it safe for drinking, and most importantly recharge Groundwater with waste water. However, the critical success factor is to reduce the wastage of water. For example, almost 30-40 per cent of piped water is non-revenue water (previously known as unaccounted for water). Also, in our day to day life, we allow a tap to run unnecessarily; we never think of using waste water for non-drinking household purposes, we let water run down the drain, rather than recharging the Groundwater; etc. Alongside our water and sanitation projects, Rotary Club of Calcutta is undertaking a 'Save Water' initiative through Posters placed at public places, such as Interact Schools, Social Clubs, Hotels, Parks, Public Toilets, Roadside, Rotary Community Corps and our own Club premises to name a few. For this purpose, we have designed a set of four A3 size Posters for display, as included in this article. Should your club require these Posters, please Rotary Club of Calcutta by telephone or email.
