As monsoon season approaches, cities like Itanagar are taking proactive measures to ensure that rainwater is not wasted. Rooftop rainwater harvesting systems are being installed to collect and store rainwater.

These systems redirect rainwater into storage tanks, preventing it from flowing directly into the sea. This initiative is crucial for urban areas facing increasing water shortages.

By capturing monsoon runoff, these cities aim to enhance their water supply and promote sustainable living practices among residents.
