RAIN WATER HARVESTING

Jalvardhini Pratishthan is a registered Voluntary organization based at Mumbai, focusing on Rainwater Management, harvesting and specializing in low cost storage tanks where in the rain water can be stored with a maximum cost of Rs.1 to Rs.2.5 per liter.

The unique concept of Jalvardhini is to capture the rain water at the place where it falls, and most preferred the place where it will be used.

Such as farm pond where the rain water can be collected, so that when required post monsoon, the same water can be easily canalized and used in the farm itself.

Experts at Jalvardhini had researched on various farms and agricultural land across rural India, especially in tribal areas of Maharashtra. Understanding the behavior and pattern of water usage, we have several options which can be opted for cheaper water storage tank, which can be made even with the help of local artisan.
