Khimawat Trust has adapted international strategies to reinvent water reservation tendencies in the western region of Rajasthan. In countries suffering from basic water preservation problem, Base Flow Barriers is a proven method for water retention and soil regulation. These barriers are installed across rivers underneath the surface of the water. The land is dug to a certain depth and several meters long and specially-made plastic sheets are infused into the pit. This way, water flow from horizontal base is checked & water is retained in the bracketed soil for a longer time.

Inspired by this technique, Khimawat Trust has studied the conditions further and adapted the same in the Pali district of Rajasthan where water retention and utilization has been a challenge. To an expanse of many kilometers in more than 8 different rivers, the land is dug and plastic sheets, specially imported from China are implanted.

This Project implemented across the villages of Bali, Desuri, Sumerpur Tehsils.

Once the Base Flow Barrier plant is implemented, the underground water, followed by rainfalls, gets stuck before the plastic blockage and spreads over. This has helped the ponds, wells, canals and the plants to retain the water received, preventing the fertile soil from eroding, and thus retained the productiveness of the land in control.
