In October 2018, Mr Madiazhagan emailed Biome as follows: ‘We are pleased to inform you that our basement is free from water seepage. The credit goes to you in suggesting to go in for open well around our building. We are able to pump out 1 lakh litres of water every day. We would like to utilize the water for other than drinking purposes after proper filtration or treatment to our existing sump tanks.’
On a visit to Safina Towers after receiving the email, the Biome team saw that the lower basement, including the generator room, was completely dry.
This project shows the beneficial effects of open wells – not only are they a dependable source of water, they are effective in addressing problems like flooding and seepage.
