Only 15% of the total 61,468 sq.m catchment area contributes runoff around 38 lakh litres of freshwater to Sainikpuri Park, but this water is not harvested within the park. The remaining 85% of runoff flows directly into Kapra Lake, with limited efforts made to capture water at intermediate points. The area’s subsurface consists of topsoil overlying weathered granite (2–18 m depth) and fractured granite (15–30 m), both of which have water-holding capacity. However, due to the presence of impervious hard granite layers in between, natural recharge is limited, requiring artificial intervention to utilize this potential effectively.
