Will harvested rainwater diverted to various wells across the campus be accepted for compliance under Criterion 17 of the GRIHA Rating?

Query

Our project is part of a campus. Rainwater harvesting is proposed at campus level. The roof top rain water will be diverted to various wells constructed around the campus, where water would be stored and reused for various purposes. Is this acceptable to demonstrate GRIHA compliance?

Solution

This approach is acceptable if statutory approvals are taken for use of water from wells.
