A Solar Water Pump has been Successfully Installed in the Revived Pond by Engen Dealers and Consultants, Trivandrum. While Small Freshwater Ponds are Available On-site, a Water Pump is Essential to Lift and Store Water in Tanks for Efficient Irrigation and Tree Plantation Activities. The Project Site Operating Without Electricity, this Solar-Powered Solution will Align with Our Commitment to Renewable Energy and Sustainable Farming Practices.

Restoration of Old Damaged Overhead Water Tank: As part of the water management strategy, the old and damaged overhead water tank on-site was carefully restored for full functionality. Restoration Work was carried out by Masons from Cost ford Architecture Firm, Trivandrum. This restoration was crucial to support the newly installed solar water pump system which will lift water from the pond and stores it in this tank for irrigation. Repairing the existing infrastructure, rather than building a new tank was a cost-effective and sustainable choice. The restored tank plays vital role in ensuring consistent water availability for farming, plantation activities and conservation efforts across the site.
