Water Management in High-Rise Buildings

In a country where water is the cheapest available commodity, extreme climate change, rising population, air pollution and lifestyle choices are affecting this natural wealth. This can be attributed to the unplanned growth with demographic expansion creating a huge demand for settlement. Shortage of space and shooting land costs have led to the creation of more and more high-rise structures or vertical cities. This puts forth a huge challenge to the overall design structure to ensure efficient water distribution and management systems. Most of the tall buildings in India are in the commercial capital Mumbai with more than 2500 high-rise buildings already constructed.( http://ijetch.org/papers/671-EA1012.pdf). With more than thousand mid-rises, Delhi and its surrounding regions are witnessing huge construction activities with 1500 already constructed high-rises.
