mission

A steady supply of clean groundwater provides perks to everyone. Groundwater is essential to life, whether it is the source of your drinking water or the water used to grow the food on your table. As a result, everyone has a role in safeguarding and conserving groundwater. The Bhujal Abhiyan offers inspiring and motivating education as well as community-based action programmes that skillfully involve individuals, communities, public and private entities in groundwater conservation and protection.

Awareness

We agree that education is a powerful motivator for change, and that people who are well-informed about the significance and vulnerability of groundwater will act responsibly on its behest.

Training

We conduct training to raise awareness of, and inspire action for, groundwater protection and conservation initiatives on a local and global scale.

Innovation

When promoting groundwater as the “Environmental Bottom Line,” we strive for innovation and growth.

Vision

" To create public awareness and sensitization about groundwater amongst the and to create participatory models for scientific recharging structures of all possible aquifers in Maharashtra state."

Monitoring Objectives

Bhujal Abhiyan aims to gain an understanding of local and regional hydrogeological processes such as groundwater and surface water interactions, as well as environmental flow requirements and hydraulic connectivity.

We collect information on recharge and discharge mechanisms, rates, and timing in lowland and upland areas, short- and long-term climate change impacts, and using groundwater levels as an indicator when assessing drought and flood conditions.

Basic aquifer and basin characteristics, such as water table and potentiometric levels, hydraulic properties, and baseline groundwater chemistry

Encourage sustainable groundwater resource use and reduce conflicts among numerous groundwater users or between groundwater and surface water users by providing measures to analyze:

  • water authorization decisions that consider the impact of groundwater withdrawals in specific areas in order to identify whether further groundwater withdrawal is sustainable.
  • short-term and long-term local and regional effects of human activity on groundwater and surface water levels
  • the formation of water budgets.
