Haldwani plans 27 recharge shafts as groundwater level falls by about 5 feet each year
The Uttarakhand Urban Sector Development Agency will build recharge shafts at 27 locations in Haldwani to send rainwater underground. 6 shafts have already been completed. The project aims to address groundwater depletion linked to tubewell extraction and urbanisation, which prevents rainwater from soaking into the ground.
