United Way of Bengaluru (UWBe), a unit of the global United Way network, a privately-funded non-profit organisation founded 132 years ago, is pitching in to find a logical solution to Bengaluru’s water woes.
UWBe has embarked on an ambitious project to build 10,000 percolation wells across the City by 2026. Percolation wells are designed to capture rainwater so that the ground water table is restored, conserved and recharged as the created percolation and filtration environment triggers natural aquifers.
Rajesh Krishnan, CEO, UWBe told The Hindu that, ‘‘We have kicked off our percolation well project for Bengaluru by building 500 percolation wells in Lal Bagh Botanical Garden.’‘
