Water harvesting and recharge
Contour trenches, check dams, ponds and recharge structures that keep monsoon rain on site.
By slowing runoff so rainfall soaks in rather than leaving with the topsoil. Contour trenches, check dams, farm ponds and recharge pits hold monsoon water on the site long enough to infiltrate, which raises the water table under the block and reduces erosion.
What this includes
- Runoff and drainage survey
- Contour trench and bund layout
- Check dam and farm pond siting
- Recharge pit construction
- Water table monitoring wells
- Erosion control on slopes
- What you receiveOutput
- Water structures built, with water table monitoring in place
- When you need itTiming
- Before or with the first planting season.
Planting without slowing runoff. On degraded slopes the first heavy monsoon removes both the water and the soil the planting needed.
