JalTara Water Conservation Project
The JalTara Water Conservation Project was inaugurated in Sadakbhav village, Shahapur. With the support of the Inner Wheel Club of Bombay Bayview and a donation from Mrs Kalpana Ramesh Kanakia in memory of Late Ramesh Manmohandas Kanakia, 150 recharge pits were developed across the lands of more than 50 farmers. The project was implemented with guidance and support from Vyakti Vikas Kendra India (The Art of Living).

Depending on rainfall, the system has the capacity to recharge approximately 15 to 30 lakh litres of water annually.
The project is expected to support agriculture, reduce the burden on women who manage water needs during summer, and help the village move towards a more sustainable water supply with less dependence on tankers.
