Hanol’s Sustainable Water Solutions

In the arid regions of Jalna, water scarcity has always posed a challenge to agriculture and daily life. Samast Mahajan took a proactive approach to mitigate these issues through an extensive rainwater harvesting project and the rejuvenation of over 300 water bodies.

Accomplishments in Jalna:
- Deepened and cleaned ponds across 350+ villages, significantly increasing water storage capacity.
- Developed over —- acres of land, benefiting280,000 families who now have access to water for agriculture, livestock, and personal use
- Implemented soil conservation techniques to enhance groundwater recharge.
- Created grasslands and catchment areas around water bodies to prevent soil erosion and sustain biodiversity.

These efforts have not only addressed the immediate water needs of Jalna’s rural population but also contributed to the overall economic growth of the area by increasing agricultural productivity.

The Kundalika River, an essential water source for several villages, had suffered from pollution and neglect. Samast Mahajan initiated a series of projects to restore its natural flow and quality:

Removed accumulated silt and waste from key stretches of the river.
Built and strengthened embankments to prevent flooding and support sustainable water management.
Encouraged community participation in keeping the river clean and monitoring water quality.
Planted trees along the riverbanks to stabilize the soil and create a thriving ecosystem

Today, the Kundalika River stands as a rejuvenated water body, providing clean and reliable water to nearby villages and supporting agricultural and industrial activities.

In the Wada region, Samast Mahajan took up the challenge of improving the water infrastructure by focusing on pond deepening and the construction of new water storage facilities.

Deepened and desilted key water bodies, increasing their capacity to hold water during the monsoon.
Provided reliable water sources to over 7 villages, directly benefiting 2,500–3,000 residents and their livestock.
Created check dams and recharge pits to enhance groundwater levels in drought-prone areas

The Wada initiative has brought measurable relief to the local population, reducing their dependency on tanker water and fostering sustainable livelihoods.

The small but significant village of Hanol has also benefited from Samast Mahajan’s water rejuvenation efforts. Known for its challenges with seasonal water shortages, the village has seen significant improvement in water availability through targeted interventions:

Restored lakes and ponds, creating a perennial source of water.
Introduced grassland development around water bodies to support cattle grazing and biodiversity.
Developed a water distribution network, ensuring equitable access to water for all households.

By addressing both water quantity and quality, Hanol’s water rejuvenation efforts have provided the community with a foundation for improved health and economic stability.
