50M+ litres
Annual water storage restored across Delhi NCR, Rajasthan, Karnataka, and Uttar Pradesh.
Adopt a Water Body
Restore lakes, ponds, and stepwells using nature-based solutions and citizen stewardship.
Initiative Snapshot
Restore lakes, ponds, and stormwater assets through careful local stewardship.
This chapter covers desilting, water-flow revival, wetland planting, and community care so adopted water bodies stay healthy for years.
- Water-flow mapping and pollution-source tracing before restoration work begins.
- Integrated civil, ecological, and behavior change interventions.
- Citizen caretaker networks and regular progress logs for communities and supporters.
Why this matters
India loses 30% of its urban water bodies every decade due to encroachment and sewage inflow.
Flood mitigation
Revived ponds act as sponges during extreme rainfall, protecting campuses and residential colonies.
Groundwater recharge
Desilted beds and percolation pits raise water tables for industries and citizens.
Community cohesion
Restored commons become wellness hubs, increasing project visibility and citizen trust.
Blueprint
Six workstreams deliver clean water bodies.
01
Starting point & approvals
Water checks, biodiversity reviews, and local approvals are completed before work starts.
02
Restoration works
Desilting, embankment repairs, inlet-outlet improvements, and floating trash barriers.
03
Ecological revival
Wetland species, riparian buffers, and aeration islands improve DO levels.
04
Community labs
Citizen committees, monitoring kiosks, and school curricula keep momentum alive.
05
Ongoing checks
Simple field sampling, periodic reviews, and clear progress updates keep the effort accountable.
06
Experience design
Walking tracks, interpretation boards, and art engagements build pride in the asset.

Case highlight
Bhandwari Lake regeneration
Hara Jeevan partnered with corporate donors and ward committees to revive a 28-acre lake. Bioremediation, constructed wetlands, and a citizen lab now keep BOD under control, while new boardwalks attract weekend crowds.
- 50 million litres storage created, reducing downstream flooding.
- 12 corporate volunteers trained as lake captains.
- Water quality now meets Class-B standards for recreation.
