| Project Inauguration | A rainwater harvesting and irrigation project inaugurated in Kukas, Jaipur (Rajasthan) with a 15-crore-litre water conservation capacity. |
| Groundwater Crisis | 80% of Rajasthan faces groundwater depletion; 50% drinking water & 60% irrigation rely on declining aquifers. Over-extraction causes salinity, fluoride, and nitrate contamination, posing health risks. |
| Direct Beneficiaries | 6,000+ villagers, mostly smallholder farmers & livestock rearers, to benefit. Expected to increase farm income by ₹5 crore/year and ensure drinking water security for 10,000+ households. |
| Water Source | Ponds designed to capture farm-level rainwater, expected to become permanent water sources post-monsoon, reducing groundwater dependence. |
| Strategic Partnership | Collaboration between Atomic Power Evolution Awareness Foundation and Hero MotoCorp's CSR wing 'Hero We Care'. |
| Region's Water Crisis | Kacherawala River dried up; 200+ wells & handpumps defunct. Groundwater levels dropped to 1,000 feet, making surface water conservation crucial. |
| Govt. Water Initiatives | National Water Policy (2012), NAQUIM, Mission Amrit Sarovar, Jal Jeevan Mission, Jal Shakti Abhiyan, Atal Bhujal Yojana. |
| Water Harvesting Types | Rainwater Harvesting (RWH), Groundwater Recharge Systems, Surface Water Harvesting, Urban Water Harvesting. |
