  9. Very useful project, especially for Kolar and Chikkaballapur farmers as they are mostly dependent on ground water for Farming.
    Farming in Kolar and Chikkaballapur districts is very diverse which includes Horti, Agri & Sericulture crops.

  11. “we got a ladder for ground water increases”
    We are happy for innovative development step for ground water recharge…by visible source…

  17. This project rejuvenated ground table of Kolar district. Previously it’s faced large water scarce. Nowadays it looking water filled everywhere across Kolar and Chikballapura districts.Thankful to Minor Irrigation department of Government of Karnataka

  31. This project has helped 5lac people and filled 284 lakes which were all dry previously. Water table has risen from 1500ft to 300ft.
    The greenery of entire Kolar district has vastly improved and a great sight to see
    Thanks to MI dept

  34. This is the first of its kind Project in India. This is a innovative project. Its my previlege to serve as Exective Engineer Quality control during the execution of these projects. This model is now being copied by several states in India.

    The Project envisages in supplying treated sewage water to about 176 tanks in Kolar district and about 65 tanks in chikkaballapur dist. Thereby improving the ground water level in these districts. This water is also directly used for irrigation purpose. But not potable. There were several petitions filed under PIL during the implementation of this project in high court of karnataka and also Supreme court. But GOK won the case in both the courts.
    Now the same scheme is already being implemented in several districts of karnataka.

    I request the world bank to fund these type of projects and encourage in preservation of depleting water source.

    Thank you
