Impact
Every monthly donation helps more villages get access to ground water
The residents of a village called Bhatrakere in Uttar Karnataka were experiencing an acute shortage of drinking water. Depletion and degradation of existing water resources had gone unnoticed, thus adding to the mounting issue.
Workers from TRDCs Paryavaran project intervened and motivated the villagers to invest in water harvesting projects to meet their water needs. Owing to the constant efforts of the team, the village now has a wetland which fills up dutifully during monsoons, recharges groundwater and provides drinking water for the cattle and wildlife in the region, along with providing for the irrigation of the village paddy fields.
The wetlands in the village now serve for all the water requirements of the village.

Program Description
Tropical Research & Development Centre's (TRDC) Paryavaran project is run in the Western Ghats in the districts of Uttara Kannada, Chikkamagalur and Mysore. It intends to address the issues of climate change by working in collaboration with local farmers.
This is done through regeneration, enrichment of plants in deforested areas, promotion of eco-friendly boiling water chulas, enhancement and restoration of wetlands, water resources, and conservation of wildlife. Rainwater harvesting pits contribute to resolving water shortages in catchment areas of Varada river basin. TRDC's volunteers initiate discussions with the local communities on the same. The pits fill 5 to 20 times during the rainy season.
This enhances the moisture in the soil and results in enhanced vegetative cover and groundwater levels. The pits will also delay the water runoff on high slopes and increase water table level and reduce flood impact.
