During the monsoon these families were
able to harvest rain water in the tanks and using it for their daily needs.
DISHA constructed eight underground rainwater harvesting structures of
50000 liters capacity in eight government schools in the villages of Ilra,
Baghada, Dhandhwa, Badki Padariya, Badki Babhani, Bakraur, Kharati and
Dhanawa. The responsibility of maintaining these structures has been transferred
to School Administration under Vidyalaya Shiksha Samitis (VSS).

Community based
rainwater-harvesting system is a sure method to satisfy the water
needs of the community as it captures and conserves rainwater, improving
percolation and recharges groundwater. As a result of DISHA's work in the villages to promote community based rainwater-harvesting three Ahars were made functiona in villages Badki Babhani and Badki Padariya. Eight wells were cleaned, repaired and revitalized in Badki Babhani, Badki Padariya, Jahanbigha and Ilra villages by DISHA. |
