Correct Answer: Tamil Nadu


Solution : The correct option is Tamil Nadu.

Tamil Nadu is the first and only state to require all homes to have a rainwater harvesting system installed on the roof. Legal provisions exist to penalise those who fail to comply. Jayalalithaa, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, brought up the Rain Water Harvesting (RWH) programme, which was introduced in 2001 to revise water sources and raise groundwater levels in the arid southern state.
