Kareepra panchayat’s solar blueprint for channelling water from unused quarries for agriculture
While abandoned quarries are death traps in many parts, rural Kareepra in Kollam is all set to put its water-filled pits to better use. In a first-of-its-kind initiative in Kerala, water from such quarries will be pumped using solar energy and diverted to canals criss-crossing the local body for irrigation.
