The Details
Farm ponds are made in farmland, especially for harvesting rain water and the nearest well or water body for irrigation is located at a distance from the farmland. In peak summer when water not available in farm pond then water is pumped up from the nearest water body, usually a well, to pond, where it can be stored. Once the water in it is replenished after a couple of days, water is once again pumped into it.
Some of the various customised initiatives for water resources are
Small wells are dug with a JCB with an underground spring as the source of water. These are useful in hilly terrains where lift irrigation is not feasible and the number of prospective beneficiaries is fewer.
Jal Kunds these are permanent structures that are 4 feet wide x 6 feet long and 3 feet deep. They are made with bricks and cement. The source of water is the nearest well which is about 100 to 200 metres away. A motor engine is used to pump up the water through a pipe to the Jalkunds.
Water wells require regular maintenance to ensure adequate water flow and continued drinking water safety. Well casing repair is commonly required following minor seismic activity or earthquakes or simply due to casing deterioration. This activity can cause cracks or splits in the well casing and allow sand or other material into the well. Well casing repair can fix the damage to the well and restore the water flow to its normal range. Due to the nature of damage in well casing repair cases, the most important thing is to accurately assess the damage to the well. The best way to inspect the well is to lower a camera down the shaft and get a visual inspection of the entire well casing. If well casing repair is really needed, it is highly recommended to perform the well casing repair.
Check dam is a small, often temporary, dam constructed across a swale, drainage ditch, or waterway to counteract erosion by reducing water flow velocity. Harvested rain water used for land irrigation and to increase underground recharge body
