The Process

Rejuvenation Through Desilting

Over time, lakes fill with silt, drastically reducing their ability to hold water. Our “Jal Sanjeevani” initiative focuses on removing this silt to bring water bodies back to life.

The Scale: We have successfully worked in Marathwada, Pune, Beed, and Thane. In 2022-23 alone, desilting just two lakes added an additional storage capacity of 60 lakh liters.

The Outcome

More Than Just Water

This project transforms the entire rural ecosystem. By increasing water availability:

  • Agriculture & Livestock: Farmers can sustain their crops and animals year-round.
  • Drinking Water: Higher groundwater tables mean wells don’t run dry in summer.
  • Stopping Migration: Families can stay in their villages instead of migrating to cities for work.
