Water is nectar of life and life cannot sustain without it. Ever increasing demands of water for domestic, irrigation as well as industrial sectors have created water crisis worldwide. Ground water is the only dependable source of water. Inferior quality of groundwater with high salinity, fluoride and nitrate contents further limits the availability of fresh water assets.

Depleting groundwater resources, water logging hazards, deep water levels, higher degree of salinity, high fluoride and nitrate concentration, industrial pollution etc. are the main ground water related areas of concern which needs appropriate attention of management for Rain Water Harvesting & Artificial Recharging.

Ground water plays a critical role in the urban environment. It has a significant contribution in municipal, industrial and domestic water supply. Urbanization strongly affects ground water recharge flow and quality thereby creating serious impact on urban infrastructure that may lead to socio – economic and environmental degradation of the area. As urban dwellings go on increasing shrinkage of open land leads to continuous decline in ground water levels in many areas.
 

• Surface water is adequate to meet our demand and we have to depend on ground water.
• Due to rapid urbanization infiltration of rain water into the sub – soil has decreased drastically and recharging of ground water has diminished.
• Over – exploitation of ground water resources has resulted in declined in water levels in most part of the country.
• To enhance availability of ground water at specific place and time.
• To arrest sea water ingress.
• To improve the water quality in aquifers.
• To impro ve the vegetation cove.
• To raise the water levels in wells & bore wells that are drying up.
• To reduce power consumption.

Today, 'Conserve Rainwater', an oft-repeated, national slogan, is manifested in action through the SATYA, a pioneer in the field of water harvesting and management in Rajasthan India. Satya make community realize its importance with the help of awareness generation and knowledge dissemination through documentary on water conservation and rainwater harvesting, demonstrating methods and techniques for water harvesting to villagers.

Satya encouraged community participation through digging and removing filth from village pond with aim of harvesting rainwater through hundreds of people willingly offered ‘SHRMDAN’(free labour work) by Satya Social Networking Committee- water committee on behalf of organizational initiatives.
