Innovative and efficient rain water conservation technology by use of pipes of ten to fifteen centimeters in diameter.
Bhungroo is a simple rainwater infiltration and storage technology developed in India. It helps save crops from becoming waterlogged during monsoons and ensures adequate irrigation during dry seasons. The technology contains an underground unit that filters, injects and stores excess farm or storm water. The unit top consists of a cemented pit 1–2.5 meters in diameter and 0.5–1 meters deep. Units are normally installed on land that has a slight tilt or gradient. Connected to the cemented pit is a pipe descending to a depth of up to 100 meters that allows water to be stored in coarse sand soil layers. Water stored in this way during rainy seasons can then be pumped for irrigation during a dry season. Bhungroo technology is handmade from locally available materials and only requires a one-time low capital investment. End users are personally involved in erection, maintenance and self-propagation. The technology is open source to enable scalability.
