#Groundwater loves finding faults.

@Indian_Rivers @HillsPune #AMillionWells is the perfect decentralised solution unlocking the shallow aquifer.

What a sight to see crystal clear shallow aquifer water .

[Anirudh Sravan Pulipaka @thisismeasp]

In Mandya district's Huskuru Gram Panchayat (Malavalli taluk), 210 workers have been engaged in Soil & moisture conservation works under MGNREGA.This hillock will hold more water & support more vegetation now.

Every 1mm on a 100sqm roof is 100 litres of usable water

@zenrainman A whole jar beyond rainy -- exactly 22.5 mm here in #Pune

Rainwater harvesting has many benefits from improving groundwater recharge, mitigating urban floods & reducing water bills.

Bengaluru has embraced this to become one of the best in rainwater harvesting in the country.

@pushkar_k09 @SahajEasy @VetalTekdi @DeepakShrote It is vital to not disturb the integrity of a hill, or any area that serves as a natural rainwater recharge. Not the least when the hydrogeology delivers groundwater to a large and dense dependent urban population, like in the case of #VetalTekdi.

[Punarbharan Foundation @punarbharan]

India is blessed with rain. We need to put our resources into routing this blessing to recharge #groundwater.

[Groundwater Resources of India @IndHydrogeology]

If the water bring recharged is clean enough, #RechargeWells are THE solution for urban areas. Good words.

Rooftop rainwater , filtered,let into a 40 feet deep well. The well has 25 feet of standing water now and is used for all household purpose. #Bengaluru #Amillionwells #groundwater Mr B won the Jalarushi Puruskar award from BWSSB.

Worth emulating..

The Secretary who signed the Karnataka Groundwater Act 2011 was appropriately named as Boregowda G.K.

[Tamhini Ghat @TamhiniGhat]

Devnadi, a Mula tributary emerges off Pashan-Sus hills. Rampant construction, encroachment, debris-dumping, canalising have narrowed this important #stream; caused flash #floods in the past.

Immediate @PMCPune action needed to restore the original width.

@sidagarwal A very useful thought 👍

Know also thy #aquifer that your watershed feeds into and upon

@mvc29 @HillsPune @pushkar_k09 @bombayhc @MPVandanaChavan @mieknathshinde @CMOMaharashtra @MoHUA_India @VijayKumbhar62 @AnupamSaraph @vvelankar @ASAPcitizens @sushmadate @bplrvs Parks, playgrounds, police stations and post offices are one thing. Look beyond the obvious to see the real value of open spaces in serving public good.

Small plots can serve for well-protected recharge wells. Urban #Pune's paved area has increased rainwater runoff to 80%.

A foot operated tap . Helps soap up and wash without touching the handle afterwards. In the home.

[WELL Labs @WELLLabs_org]

Undeterred by the consequences of Gaja cyclone & #COVID19, the youth network of Pudukkottai #TamilNadu have committed themselves to regenerating the lake infrastructure in their panchayat.

Pune's grown beyond its carrying capacity several times over. Groundwater, dam capacity ain't increasing.
Why 4ce farmers alone 2 abide by crop per drop.
Using #aerators urbanites must do #MoreChoresPerDrop.

@punarbharan helping villages, farms, EW sections escape water scarcity

[Punarbharan Foundation @punarbharan]

@AreaPashan @MPVandanaChavan @Jairam_Ramesh @prachibari @bplrvs @ASAPcitizens @WagholiHSA @HIRWA_Hinjawadi @Bhujal_Abhiyan @dhavalgy @AneraoKailash @sagi_occ Yes. If and as long as water remains unmetered, it is the energy bill that translates water savings into Rupee savings.

[Punarbharan Foundation @punarbharan]

Small intervention, big difference!

0.5 litres/minute instead of 14. This #Pune society now saves at least 13.5 ltr x 50 min = 675 litres, or 3 large barrels of #water every day per tap. Interested?
