An ancient well, built by the great Cholas, in Kolar Reserve Forest is undergoing restoration process for its structural integrity and enhance both water quantity and quality. The restoration process focuses on: Mitigating Groundwater Over-Extraction – Reducing dependence on deep tube wells that contain high levels of arsenic, fluoride, and other hazardous minerals. Optimizing Shallow Aquifer Recharge – Increasing water retention capacity by 50% for long-term sustainable use and helps in access to clean water. Ecosystem Conservation – Ensuring a safe and reliable water source for wild animals, birds and plantation efforts within the facility. By shifting from deep well waters to open well water usage and implementing conservation measures, this initiative supports sustainable groundwater management while preserving a historical water structure. #AncientWells #SaveWater #GroundwaterRecharge #RestoreTheWells #WaterSustainability
