Ways to Recharge the Groundwater
Rainwater Harvesting
Rainwater Harvesting using borewells; abandoned tubewells, handpumps, percolation pits and dug wells
Checkdams
Give enough time to rainwater to infiltrate into the ground, and help increase ground water level in the area.
Water body
Revive existing water bodies, make new water bodies / ponds etc. Ensure rainwater reaches the water body.
Plantations
Trees help reduce soil erosion, absorb harmful gases and increasing ground water levels in the area
