Rainwater could meet up to 60% of water demand at garment factories

The textile and readymade garment factories can meet up to 60% of the demands of non-drinkable water through harvesting rainwater, which would help them reduce dependence on groundwater, according to a study.

"Harvested rainwater even meets 100 per cent of the demand for non-drinkable water in some garment factories that do not have dyeing and washing units," said Md Ashraful Alum, member secretary of the RAiN Forum.
