Did you know? By harvesting rainwater, we can save the government LKR 23.85 MILLION annually!!

Lanka Rain Water Harvesting Forum Propose a LKR 23.85 MILLION annual saving to the Government On 12th of May 2026. Lanka Rainwater Harvesting Forum officially handed over the Proposal to Install Rainwater Harvesting System for Public Buildings in Western Province to the Dr. H.M. Susil Ranasinghe, Hon Minister of Housing, Construction and Water Supply at the Ministry of Housing, Construction and Water Supply, Sethsiripaya, Battaramulla.

The proposal is to install rainwater harvesting systems in 100 public buildings in the Western Province ,reduce their water bills by 20-30% per building while simultaneously reducing treated water demand from our municipal supply system by 150,000 m³ every year.

The benefits go beyond just savings:
💧 Water Security – Buildings have backup water during supply disruptions
🌍 Climate Adaptation – Reduced storm water flooding in urban areas
🌱 Sustainability – Demonstrating climate action to 28 million annual visitors
✅ Water Conservation – Protecting our natural water resources
