A Belagavi-based NGO, Pyaas Foundation, will take up a comprehensive watershed development project, including the construction of a lake in Nagarmunoli village near Raibag in Belagavi district.
“We are developing a project that involves creating a reservoir by excavating a suitable depth to provide a water catchment area. The reservoir will be created by barraging a stream of water flowing through the village. This project will not only help augment the groundwater in the region but also double up as a lake. The lake will serve as a water source for devotees visiting the Siddeshwar temple, located in the vicinity of the lake,” Madhav Prabhu, coordinator, said.
The foundation has taken up several watershed development works, but this is the most ambitious of the projects till now, he said.
