Continuing our partnership with CLEAN International and SayTrees, we are supporting a project to improve the storage capacity of Mandhar Lake in Pune, India. Sedimentation in many of the region’s reservoirs has lowered their storage capacity, leading to growing water insecurity. This project will focus on dewatering and desilting 7 acres of the lake to increase water volume and groundwater recharge as part of a larger regional effort. 500 plants and trees will also be planted around the lake, enhancing the local biodiversity and providing recreational opportunities for the community.
