Little Drops can make a Mighty Ocean of pure water at Synergy

Friends

Our 1.5 Ton Air Conditioner turned `Varuna` producing almost 12 liters of water in its 6 hours of overnight usage. (Please see photo). Now, Please do refer to Mr GVK`s blog ( http://omrresident.blogspot.com/2011/06/going-green-akshaya-way.html ) & note that every day during summer, we can collect :-

1400 Air Cons at Synergy x 6 hours of running (average per day) x 12 liters = 100,800 liters a day. That is nearly 10 lorry loads of water a day ! Cost per load of 10,000 liters of water is Rs.600.

If we can find a solution to collect all this water that can either be used for watering our plants & trees or for our fountains (future) etc, it will be prudent to be looked into & acted upon now & pipes laid now.

I used this bucket of water to hand-wash some garments that cannot go into a washing machine. I will write to Mantri on this & see their response. In the meanwhile, please suggest anything more that can be done to save this water other than it going down the drain & eventually into the sea.
