Sampath S is a 66-year-old retired banker who lives in Bengaluru. For the last six years, he has used only rainwater for his household purposes.

“Thousands of litres of water was just going waste even as Tamil Nadu is struggling with severe water shortage. That was my cue to do something in my personal capacity to save fresh water,” says the enterprising civil engineer. #ChennaiWaterCrisis #HarvestRain
