AlphaG:Corp's GurgaonOne
|
According to estimates of the Central Ground Water Authority (CGWA), Gurgaon's water table has been declining at a rate of about two metres every year since 2006! At this rate, the city may dry up its water sources by 2017 if urgent remedial steps are not undertaken by the authorities and all stakeholders alike. According to Surge, a non-profit organization, the water table in Gurgaon is already 40 metres below ground level.
In a different part of Gurgaon, GurgaonOne our 10-acre eco-friendly habitat consisting of 240 apartments, penthouses and villas and spread over mandatory green land on the old Delhi-Jaipur highway ranks at the top among large residential complexes conforming to the National Environment Policy, 2006.

This project meets the nascent but growing need in India of premium living in eco-balanced habitats. The outstanding feature of GurgaonOne is its location on the biggest green patch of Gurgaon off the national highway and on the periphery of the mandatory 1000 acre green area there. Due to the green area adjoining it and its location in the municipal area, the greenery and water table level of GurgaonOne is considerably higher (less than 30 metres).
Even so, our commitment to environmentally proficient projects led among other steps to the incorporation of extensive and sustainable water harvesting systems in the complex with a 300 KLD sewage treatment plant -- the first treatment plant of this size in Delhi NCR. The water treated in this plant is used for irrigation of the 2.03 acre open green area in the complex, as also for storage and recharging of groundwater after rain harvesting. The six wells function in reverse mode of bore-wells, allowing rainwater to seep back into the ground, thereby constantly bringing the water table up. The complex has 100% water backup, along with purification from the 1,80,000 litres water softening plant. Besides, the underground tank capacity is of 6,00,000 litres, within which 2,00,000 litres is treated water in sub-tanks; 2,00,000 litres of raw water and 2,00,000 litres for the fire fighting system alone.
The eco-systems at GurgaonOne were incorporated in the initial design specs of the complex by the architects, Arcop (Associate of Le Arcop) and due evaluations were made by them at every stage of construction to ensure 100% sustainability and efficiency of all systems. Pre-planning and implementation of extensive development of Green Belt, Rainwater Harvesting, Energy Conservation Systems, Segregation & Management of Waste -- Solid and Liquid, Vermiculture and Advanced Sewage Treatment Plant make GurgaonOne a well-defined and path-breaking benchmark among eco-friendly habitats for sustainable environmental practices.
Our endeavor is to involve the whole community to foster the feeling of living in a natural and eco-friendly habitat. To facilitate that, I volunteered to head the RWA of GurgaonOne and am really pleased that our team effort has helped us to achieve our objective in less than 2 years. The results are evident on the ground as well as in the community spirit among the residents of this habitat. All this, combined with the high water table at the location and our sustainable systems at GurgaonOne, make this complex one of the most coveted addresses for buyers in Gurgaon.
