Some facts and figures

Building of Indian Parliament:
The Parliament House (Sansad Bhavan) is a circular building designed by the British architect Herbert Baker in 1912–1913.The roof of the outer circle of the structure is supported by 257 granite pillars. The Houses are located on Janpath, a stone's throw away from the presidential palace (Rashtrapati Bhavan). It can be seen from India Gate.
Strange Water Scarcity:

India receives about 4% of the global precipitation and ranks 133 in the world in terms of water availability per person per annum but still in India there is water scarcity. Why? Because we are not able to manage rainwter, about 1.25% of the total rainwater in India gets wasted.The best solution that seems today is rainwater harvesting which must be done at indivisual level.
In villge in Karnatak called Gendathur, about 100000 l of rainwater is harvested.Then why not in your city?
