Water Logging Free Gurugram
Every monsoon, Gurugram drowns—not because of excess rain, but because we forgot how to retain it. Water logging has become a seasonal nightmare: roads become rivers, homes flood, traffic halts. But while the city floods above ground, our groundwater continues to decline. The solution isn’t just better drainage—it’s better recharge. Water Logging Free Gurugram revives traditional methods like Khambhati Kuas, combines them with stormwater audits, and installs recharge wells to harvest rain where it falls. It’s a shift from drain-first to recharge-first infrastructure—designed for resilience, backed by CSR, and driven by community wisdom.
Water doesn’t have to be the enemy. Gurugram receives enough rainfall to recharge its aquifers and prevent flooding—if only we let it. Instead of letting rainwater run off into choked drains and flooded streets, Water Logging Free Gurugram aims to bring back traditional wisdom and modern tools that help rainwater soak into the earth.
Here’s how the campaign works:
1. Khambhati Kuva Revival – Ancient stepwells are cleaned, restored, and made functional to store and recharge water.
2. Urban Recharge Wells – Pits and wells installed near malls, parks, colonies, and public spaces where runoff is highest.
3. Stormwater Audits – Experts assess flood-prone zones and suggest greywater redirection and soak pit designs.
4. Corporate Campus Harvesting – Offices and schools are supported to install rooftop and surface recharge pits with CSR support.
5. Ecobloc - Install smart drains—made from recycled plastic—that don’t just carry rainwater away and capture it.
So far, the campaign has revived 6 Khambhati Kuas, dug over 100 recharge pits with an annual capacity of 1.2 crore litres, and earned recognition from the Haryana Jal Board and NHAI. It’s a holistic, scalable model that connects engineering, culture, and community participation.
Waterlogging doesn’t have to be a curse. With the right tools, every flooded street can become a recharge point, every rain a blessing—not a burden.
