Problem
At RP Nilayam, the existing borewell (BW 1 [F]) and nearby pond do not share a compatible geological relationship, limiting their effectiveness in groundwater recharge. The adjacent recharge pit is also inefficient, causing rainwater to drain quickly beyond the site, bypassing the opportunity to recharge local aquifers. Additionally, current recharge pits across the site are underperforming, and runoff is being lost outside the plot. The soil remains dry and unsaturated due to poor infiltration capacity and lack of effective recharge infrastructure.
Solution
To enhance recharge, the existing pit near BW 1 [F] can be desilted and converted into an infiltration well. An additional infiltration well can be constructed within the pond bed to capture and recharge collected rainwater. The downstream earthen bund should be reinforced and the surrounding landscape contoured with a slope to retain water. Eco channels should be built to direct rainwater towards recharge points 1 and 5. Moreover, wall gratings should be installed at four designated locations (Circles 1–4) on the compound wall to allow external runoff into the site. Storage facilities must be created to capture this water, which should then be routed to recharge points 4, 5, and 6, as well as existing open wells 2 and 3, using eco channels and proper desilting arrangements to ensure effective recharge.
