Swajaldhara
Apart from TSC, Swajaldhara is a major and necessary component of sanitation programme. Water scarcity is one of the burning problems in rural areas that makes us aware of effective water resource management programme. To ensure its role in Natural Resource Management the Government of India lunched a programme named, “Swajaldhara” as an important issue to cater water scarcity. Keeping the above in our activities in NRM and especially in WRM, BISWA plays a key role in successful implementation of Swajaldhara programme in various locations of its area of operation. BISWA has lunched Swajaldhara programme in 40 villages of Maneswar Block, and has a target to cover 50 villages in 22 districts of by the end of 2007. It is our mission to perpetuate in Swajaldhara programme as a key resolution in our area of action.

Roof Top Water Harvesting Structure:
Roof top water Harvesting is the prime objective in our operational area. Unnecessary wastage of rain water as run off during rainy season is the main cause of water scarcity during off season. Collection and storage of this excess water during rainy season help to recharge the ground water t able. Roof top water harvesting is highly encouraging in our operational area.
