rain water harvesting project constructed
Bhopal: A novel rain water harvesting project has been constructed in a natural re-entrant in Dronachal complex of Bhopal Military Station located in the Neori Hills. The project is in line with the National Policy on Ecology and Water Conservation. The unique project was conceptualized by lt Gen PS Mehta, Vishist Seva Medal, General Officer Commanding, Sudarshan Chakra Corps on assuming the command of the Corps in April 2015. A series of seven check dams have been constructed, to achieve the twin objectives of creating reservoirs of water and ground water recharge. The complex has been sited to harness maximum surface runoff rain water in Neori Hills. It will also provide a fillip to plantation and arboriculture, in the surrounding areas. These Check Dams put together have the capacity to stock upto 10 lakh gallons of water after the initial settlement. The Army intends to create a green belt with a water body which is likely to attract migratory birds in the forthcoming winters. An engineering feat, the check dams are a befitting contribution for posterity.
