Guidance Class on Bore-Well Recharge

   

     India being an agrarian country Indian farmers mainly depend on ground-water for irrigation. Due to growing population, fast urbanisation, deforestation and industrialisation bore-wells (Tube-wells) around us are drying to death. Water scarcity is being recognised as a grave threat for future generations.

          Considering the importance of bore-well recharging techniques, one day guidance class was arranged at KVK in collaboration with Urdhavam, Pune on 14^th May. Shri Vinit Phadnis, Director of Urdhavam spoke about new technology developed at Urdhvam Research Centre for bore-well recharging.

  He said that it requires neither huge investment nor any space for civil construction. It is a unique technology which helps harvesting rainwater from the topmost, seasonally replenishable unconfined aquifers. Bore charger makes the bore-well highly sustainable by recharging the deeper confined aquifers. It is possible as they perforate existing borewell casing pipe from inside. This system potentially revives existing, failed and low yielding borewells. In the afternoon session Shri Pranit Daphale, Senior Technician of Urdhvam demonstrated technical functioning of patented bore-well recharge process. Thirty eight farmers took advantage of this guidance class.
