Total annual input in TCIL compound - 3000 Cum, total rain input harvested by the plant - 2000 Cum and percentage of rain input harvested - 70.

  • Improves quality of ground water as filtered water is recharged.

  • Raise the water levels in the wells and bore-wells that are drying up

  • Saves energy in lifting of water due to higher water table

  • Increases under ground water availability

  • Reduces soil erosion and choking of drains
