Well Development
& Recharging
Groundwater depletion is a critical challenge, but N M Sadguru Foundation built check dams across rivers and rivulets which successfully recharged open wells, ensuring a steady water supply for communities and enhancing agricultural productivity.
Recharging Open Wells
Through Check Dams
A large-scale campaign in the Mahi and Chambal river basins has directly contributed to the development or recharging of 18,459 wells. These efforts have significantly improved water availability, boosting livelihoods and agricultural output in the region..
Scientific Validation of
Groundwater Impact
A study by the INREM Foundation confirms that larger check dams enhance groundwater levels up to 5-10 kilometers on both sides of the structure. This not only ensures surface water availability for immediate use but also benefits thousands of open dug wells, promoting long-term agricultural growth.
