Problem:
80% of India depends on groundwater for drinking, domestic, industrial, and agricultural usage. Due to lack of recharge, 4.5 Crore borewells are yielding lesser groundwater & drying up rapidly, resulting in adverse socio-economic impacts such as farmer suicides, unsustainable farming, drought-prone villages, unviable industries and thirsty habitations.
Solution:
BoreCharger is an innovative, affordable, and smart rainwater harvesting and recharge solution that substantially improves borewell recharge 4 to 20 times, drastically improves borewell production, enhances water quality and longevity of groundwater supply.
There are no current competitors with similar technology. The closest competitors are Bhungroo and the typical Rainwater Harvesting Pit Recharge method implemented by NGOs/Govt Departments. These are 3-5 times costlier, ineffective & inefficient solutions, and need maintenance.
They also need more space, time, and a surface water source such as a stream or rooftop. They can recharge only during the rainy season.
BoreCharger is a Patent Pending Technology. 4-5 times cheaper, needs only 3 hours, uses existing borewells, doesn’t need space, can recharge 2-40 times more water during and after the rainy season is over.
Scalability and Impact:
1300+ Borewells recharged with BoreCharger Technology, 2000+ Number of Beneficiaries, Implementations in 9 states of India (Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Telangana, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Orissa), implementations internationally in Benin-West Africa.
