The Expert Group on Groundwater Management and Ownership (Planning Commission, 2007) notes that in 2004, an alarming 28% of the blocks in the country were in the category of semi-critical, critical and overexploited as compared to 7% in 1995. In other words, in 28% of blocks, the annual groundwater draft is more than the net annual groundwater availability. Majority borewells are dried up , Rotary district 3131 this year has taken the task of recharging dried borewells. RCP Gandhi Bhavan has taken this project and first lot of 10 borewells in Pueandar- under 10 ZP Schools are completed. The recharge of the borewells will result in overall yield enhancement and improved groundwater quality. The BoreCharger will increase the rate of recharge of the deeper aquifers from the water that is been stored in the upper unconfined zones. This will result in increased endurance of borewells. This project is taken by District 3131 as Thrust Area project. TOTAL 41 Borewell recharge completed. 11 are in Purandar Tehsil- Z.P.Schools (Sponsored by Fidel-softech)and 30 in Dhangwadi -Bhor (Sponsored by Save The Indian Farmers)
