The housing problem would have become worse without the presence of the numerous experienced private builders and realtors. Due to the immense opportunities and the phenomenal demand, for the global Real Estate Developers India is a hot destination. Almost all realtors with Indian operations now have their hands full with numerous building projects in prominent cities.

Due to the increasing population and scarcity of available land, the only option is to build upwards. Real estate developers in India are now building taller and taller and within a short period of time, India is going to be home to some of the tallest skyscrapers in the world. However while building taller and taller, the safety measures are also given more preference.

Builders of high-rise apartments are the ones who had to experiment with the concept of water and waste recycling in the urban areas. High-rise apartment complexes used up much water, electricity and other resources since hundreds of families are residing in a given unit of land that was earlier occupied by just a handful of people.

In most cities the civic authorities could meet the water and energy needs of the high rise apartments. The only way out was to optimize the use of water, electricity and other resources. Through water recycling, even though it is a costly affair, some of the leading apartment builders could ensure that the apartment complexes had access to enough water supplies even when the people residing in the immediate neighborhoods went without water due to the breakdown of the water connections provided by the civic authorities.
