Earthen Pond An earthen pond is an artificial lake or pond created by shaping and building an earthen or dirt embankment around a depression or low-lying area. These ponds are commonly used for recreational or ornamental purposes and can also serve as water sources for livestock or irrigation. Regular Monitoring: Keep an eye on water levels. Debris Removal: Clean out leaves, branches, and other debris. Aquatic Vegetation Control: Manage plant growth. Long-Term Sustainability: With care, earthen ponds can thrive as safe habitats for both wildlife and humans

The “water positive” goes beyond the concept of net-zero water usage. It aims to return more water to freshwater sources than is withdrawn. Being water positive involves actively contributing to water conservation and replenishment. Companies and organizations that adopt water-positive practices take steps to minimize their water footprint and actively replenish water resources. This commitment helps address environmental and climate concerns related to water scarcity and quality

Percolation Pit is also like Rainwater Harvesting System A percolation pit, in its most low-tech form, is a simple hole dug into the ground. It facilitates groundwater recharge through infiltration of surface runoff into the soil or rock. Differences to contour trenches: Better water storage capability due to greater depth. Percolation tank is an artificially created surface water body, submerging in its reservoir a highly permeable land so that surface runoff is made to percolate and recharge the ground water storage. The percolation tanks are mostly earthen dams with masonry structure only for spillway. Percolation tank is an artificially created surface water body, submerging in its reservoir a highly permeable land so that surface runoff is made to percolate and recharge the ground water storage. Percolation tank should be constructed preferable on second to third order streams, located on highly fractured and weathered rocks which have lateral continuity down stream. The recharged area down stream should have sufficient number of wells and cultivable land to benefit from the augmented ground water. The size of percolation tank should be governed by percolation capacity of strata in the tank bed. Normally percolation tanks are designed for storage capacity of 0.1 to 0.5 MCM. It is necessary to design the tank to provide a ponded water column generally between 3 & 4.5 m. The percolation tanks are mostly earthen dams with masonry structure only for spillway. The purpose of the percolation tank is to recharge the ground water storage and hence seepage below the seat of the bed is permissible. for dams upto 4.5 m. height, cut off trenches are not necessary and keying and benching between the dam seat and the natural ground is sufficient.

Water Conservation, Ground Water Rejuvenation and Development via Rainwater Management and Harvesting Rainwater through Ponds and Borewell Recharging Structures to Support Increasing Demand of Water for Daily usage for Domestic, Industrial and Agricultural purposes. Water Conservation and Harvesting Structures in Naturally Water Scarce Regions creates Geo-Hydrological Opportunity and Economic Viability. Ponds recharging structure, farm pond, stop Dam, and small pond etc. It is seen that different Geographical Location and unique Geophysical and Hydrological Nature and every situation needs to be addressed, separately, the groundwater recharge capacity of the varies regions may vary depending upon area specific geophysical nature of earth strata. Recharge Wells provide an opportunity to extract sub-surface flow of the region without exploiting the Groundwater reserve.

CGWA Clearance Central Ground Water Board (CGWB) . Statement indicating position of pending cases received for NOC for ground water withdrawal. Statement showing list of project proposals to whom NOC for ground water withdrawal has been issued. The annual replenishable ground water resources availability plays an important role in defining the guidelines. The latest assessment of the state wise ground water resources as on 31.03.2009 is available at the Central Ground Water Board . As per the ground water resource estimates of 2009, out of the 5842 assessment units (Blocks, Mandals, Talukas, districts), 802 over-exploited units, 169 critical units, 523 semi-critical units, 4277 safe units and 71 saline units have been identified across the country by Central Ground Water Board. The Annual replenishable ground water resources have been estimated as 431 Billion Cubic Meters (bcm). The Net Ground Water Availability is 396 bcm and the overall stage of ground water development of the country is 61%. Therefore, prior permission/NOC from CGWA has to be obtained before construction of any Groundwater abstraction structure viz. Tube wells, Bore wells, Dug wells etc. Allegiance can offers its client the following services: Examining the area of the groundwater against availability Water requirement Availability of aquifer A Shallow aquifer B Deeper aquifer Status of the groundwater development of the area Preparation of proposal for augmentation of groundwater abstraction Preparation and implementation of water conservation measures Facilitation for obtaining NOC from CGWA, New Delhi
