The team cleaned the water tanks in the campus, drinking water area, roof top of rain harvesting area and repaired some damages of water channel.
The Jal Shakti Team DGC constructed 100/40 ft. wide and 8 ft. deep fishery pond for the dual purpose of underground water recharging & fishery which also benefits in the protection of ecosystem. The importance has given on both scientific and traditional knowledge which was developed for effective watershed management in the form of collecting and storing water using indigenous method of harvesting rain water. Such practices are also the best way of preventing the wastage.
