Nestled between Nagarhole and Bandipur National Parks, Evolve Back Kabini is located near the riverside, surrounded by nature and wildlife. The resort implements rigorous water conservation measures, including harvesting rainwater through rooftop systems and ponds, and recycling all wastewater via treatment plants for use in gardening. In place of plastic bottles, in-room water purifiers provide guests with clean, safe drinking water, an initiative that saves over 1,50,000 plastic bottles annually.
The Oberoi Vanyavilas Wildlife Resort, Ranthambhore
Located in Sawai Madhopur, next to the famous Ranthambhore National Park, The Oberoi Vanyavilas offers a luxurious stay with a strong commitment to the environment. The resort collects around 1.6 million litres of rainwater each season through specially designed lakes, which also attract over 135 bird species. It uses a sewage treatment plant to recycle water for garden irrigation, reducing the need for groundwater. The rooms feature water-saving taps, showerheads, and toilets, and guests are encouraged to use water mindfully. Native trees and grasses across the property help recharge the water table naturally.
Ananda in the Himalayas, Uttarakhand
Ananda in the Himalayas, nestled in the serene Himalayan foothills, is committed to water conservation through various initiatives, which encourage reduced usage and improve water sourcing using advanced technologies. The resort has also cut down its tanker trips, thereby reducing its carbon footprint. Other measures include a water bottling plant with reusable glass bottles, saving 350 plastic bottles daily, and a zero-waste water policy that ensures recycled water is used for gardening through drip irrigation and sprinklers.
SwaSwara Gokarna, CGH Earth
SwaSwara is located on Om beach along the Konkan coast in Gokarna. At SwaSwara by CGH Earth, water conservation is a top priority. The resort harvests up to 18 million litres of rainwater each monsoon through three large reservoirs, meeting all its water needs, including purified drinking water. Wastewater is treated and reused for gardening, reducing pressure on local water sources. Reflecting CGH Earth’s commitment to sustainability, similar rainwater harvesting systems are set up across its properties and even in local schools, supporting communities and promoting responsible tourism.
ITC Grand Chola, Chennai
ITC Grand Chola, located in Chennai, India, has taken great steps in saving water. The hotel uses water-efficient fixtures that cut down water use by about 35% compared to regular standards. It also treats all its wastewater on-site and reuses it for irrigation, flushing, and cooling systems. Not only does this reduce the hotel’s water usage, but it also helps conserve freshwater, benefiting the local environment.
