Khambhati Kuva: Corporate CSR Solution for Waterlogging in Gurugram

Flooding and Water Scarcity – Gurugram’s Urban Paradox

Gurugram is caught in a seasonal paradox. During monsoon, roads are flooded. During summer, borewells run dry. The city loses over ₹500 crore annually due to urban flooding while simultaneously battling a groundwater decline of 1.5–2 meters every year.

With over 80% of rainfall lost to surface runoff, Gurugram urgently needs solutions that recharge rather than drain. This is where Khambhati Kuva, an award-winning water recharge model, offers both immediate relief and long-term sustainability.

Why Waterlogging Needs More Than Drains

Waterlogging is not just about inconvenience—it causes:

• Traffic disruptions and loss of work hours

• Property and infrastructure damage

• Soil erosion and surface degradation

• Stagnant water leading to health issues

Meanwhile, groundwater depletion leads to:

• Increased tanker dependency during summer

• Falling borewell levels

• Stress on public water supply infrastructure

Conventional drainage systems only push the problem away. Khambhati Kuva is about turning rainfall into recharge.
