The Hotel & Restaurant Association of Western India (HRAWI) has issued guidelines to its members regarding the use and conservation of water.
Bharat Malkani, president of HRAWI, has urged hoteliers to take a series of steps to conserve water, such as only serving and refilling guests’ glasses upon request and using dry brooms to sweep floors, rather than hoses.
“Water is a very precious resource and conserving it has become the need of the hour,” said Malkani. “Every drop of water saved could make a difference and especially so when all the hoteliers and restaurateurs join hands it could mean a significant one.
“Using less water helps us to become more flexible during times of water shortage; and conserving water is simple and inexpensive.”
Other water conversation measures suggested by the HRAWI include reusing untouched crockery and cutlery, requesting that guests turn off the taps when they are not in use, and covering swimming pools to limit evaporation.
HRAWI’s members include hotels and restaurants in the states of Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Goa, and the Union Territories of Daman, Diu and Silvassa.
