Ground Water Recharge Solutions in Rajasthan

Company Overview

At Ground Water Company, we specialize in offering sustainable groundwater recharge solutions for regions facing severe water scarcity, such as Rajasthan. Known for its arid climate and dependency on groundwater, Rajasthan is facing significant water challenges. Our expert team employs innovative and scientifically-backed methods to recharge depleted aquifers, ensuring a stable and reliable water supply for both rural and urban areas in the state.

Groundwater Recharge Challenges in Rajasthan

Excessive Groundwater Extraction for Agriculture

Agriculture in Rajasthan is largely dependent on groundwater due to erratic rainfall patterns and low surface water availability. Over-extraction for irrigation, especially in areas like Jodhpur, Bikaner, and Barmer, has led to a significant decline in the groundwater table. Without proper recharge systems, the situation will worsen, affecting crop yields and drinking water availability.

Declining Water Tables in Urban Areas

In urban centers like Jaipur, Udaipur, and Ajmer, the growing demand for water due to rapid population expansion and urbanization has resulted in a continuous decline in groundwater levels. The over-extraction of water for both domestic and industrial needs is outpacing the natural replenishment of aquifers, putting a strain on the available water resources.

Uneven Distribution of Rainfall

While Rajasthan does receive rainfall, it is highly erratic and uneven, with some regions receiving little to no rain during certain years. This makes it difficult for groundwater to naturally recharge in many parts of the state. Areas like the Thar Desert and the southern part of the state experience significant water stress due to the scarcity of rainfall.

Water Pollution in Groundwater Sources

The contamination of groundwater sources is another critical issue faced by Rajasthan, especially in industrial zones and areas with agricultural runoff. Chemicals, pesticides, and untreated sewage seep into underground aquifers, making the water unfit for consumption. This exacerbates the pressure on already limited water supplies and hinders effective groundwater recharge efforts.

Over-reliance on Wells and Borewells

Many rural and urban communities in Rajasthan rely heavily on wells and borewells to extract groundwater. However, the continuous extraction without adequate recharge measures has resulted in the rapid depletion of these resources. The deeper the wells go, the more energy and resources are required to extract water, further exacerbating the depletion cycle.

Our Groundwater Recharge Solutions in Rajasthan

Rainwater Harvesting Systems

In urban areas like Jaipur, Udaipur, and Jodhpur, we implement large-scale rainwater harvesting systems that collect and store rainwater for use in recharging groundwater. By diverting rainwater into recharge pits, trenches, or borewells, we promote the infiltration of water into the underground aquifers.

Check Dams and Nadi Revival

We construct check dams and revitalize traditional water storage systems such as ‘Nadis’ (village ponds) to capture rainwater and enhance groundwater recharge in rural areas of Rajasthan. These systems not only store surface water but also ensure that water slowly infiltrates the ground, replenishing aquifers over time.

Recharge Pits and Trenches

We design and construct recharge pits, trenches, and wells to promote localized groundwater recharge. These techniques are particularly effective in urban and semi-urban areas, where space is limited but groundwater depletion is a significant concern. These systems help capture rainwater and guide it into the aquifer, reducing surface runoff and improving the water table.

Watershed Management

In areas with significant rainfall, such as the Aravalli hills, we implement watershed management practices to improve water retention and reduce runoff. This includes building check dams, water diversion channels, and soil conservation techniques to ensure that water is absorbed into the ground rather than being lost as surface runoff.

Artificial Recharge of Borewells

In regions like Bikaner and Barmer, where borewells are commonly used for water extraction, we install artificial recharge systems to ensure that borewells are continuously replenished. This method involves injecting water back into the borewell to ensure that it maintains its yield, helping to prevent further depletion.
