Are you thinking of new ways to save water? You may want to take a cue from the Masjidhul Ihsaan mosque at Karumbukkadai in Tamil Nadu.
The mosque is doing its bit to recharge groundwater by reusing the ablution water. The mosque authorities have adopted this eco-friendly technique from Siruthuli, an NGO that works for water conservation.
Talking about the method, he said, “Similar to rain water harvesting, we have set up structures to purify the waste water so that the groundwater gets recharged. We have two pits of that are 10 feet and 5 feet wide and the water from the mosque is let into the pit,” he said.
He also added that mosques like Athar Jamath mosque at Oppanakkara Street, Masjidhul Huda at Karumbukkadai, Qurathul Aiyn mosque at RS Puram are also interested in adopting the method.
