Water conservation

Through Bhugarbh Jal Sanchay and Nirmal Neer : The twin projects of water conservation and management, Swadhyay is changing the face of large tracts of semi-arid parts of western Gujarat where underground water resources have been all but exhausted. Overuse and blind use of underground water resources has pushed the water table even lower than five hundred feet. By recharging abandoned wells (through replenishing the aquifers) and impounding run-off water in ponds, Swadhyay has produced dramatic results.
