Rejuvenating Water Bodies: Restoring Nature’s Water Storage

Desilting removes accumulated silt caused by soil erosion, restoring the water-holding capacity of existing ponds and water bodies. This intervention helps capture and store more rainwater, strengthening local water security for communities and farmers, especially during increasingly frequent dry spells and erratic rainfall.

Your contribution of ₹2.7 lakh can support the removal of approximately 10,000 cubic metres of accumulated silt, potentially restoring up to 1 crore litres of water storage capacity, subject to the water body’s design and site conditions.

An investment in restoring existing water bodies is an investment in water security, climate resilience and sustainable agriculture.
