Increases Groundwater Level

Solution to Drying Wells - KFP can replenish the depleting water table of well with filtered water.

Solution to Drinking Water crisis of a Village - By harvesting 0.1 million (1 Lakh) cu mtr rainwater annually KFP can make villages tanker-free permanently.

Floods are caused in low-lying areas when rainwater doesn't find its way to underground aquifers. By building new ground-water channels KFP creates new drainage line for rainwater thereby preventing floods. It also increases ground-water table.

The pattern of Monsoon has been changed in the recent decade. Even if there is no drought and rain falls to the average, the days of monsoon are getting lesser and lesser.

KFP harvests the rainwater and store it as soil moisture. This soil moisture creates a buffer for poorly performing water balance during unreliable monsoon. The moisture is trapped in the soil for a long period.

KFP saves huge amount of power required for irrigation & reduces need of chemical fertilizer. Carbon footprint for making 1 KFP structure is less than 150 kg, which will save annually 500 kg of carbon emissions for 200 years. If implemented at all India level in 60 million ha rain-fed agriculture land, it can save CER to the tune of 30 million ton per year by power saving alone.

Power is required to irrigate mini catchment zone of 500 ha with 15 lakhs cu mtr water. KFP can store 15 lakh cu mtr rainwater as soil moisture in 500 ha zone which will be available to crop roots naturally. We will save transportation of this water required for irrigation, from bore-wells or distant irrigation tanks.

Implementation of KFP rainwater harvesting solution at large scale can revive dead rivers.

No need to transfer River Basin waters from different climatic zones because all water related problems can be solved locally from freely available sky-water harvesting.

Sea water tends to get into wells and bore-wells of the land near sea, making the water saline and not potable. KFP provides soft water to these wells and bore-wells by percolating rainwater & activating groundwater channels. Sea water being hard settles down and soft water get lifted above, which is available for use.

Crop-yields in rain-fed farming systems can be doubled by just 5 - 25% increase in soil moisture. KFP can increase this soil moisture 4-5 times by rainwater infiltration. This soil moisture creates a buffer during unreliable monsoon. The moisture is trapped in the soil for a long period. In 4-5 years farmer can easily yield an extra crop.

In India, each hector land loses 20 - 60 tons soil every year during monsoon. It takes 600 years for one inch of soil to form naturally.

KFP infiltrates rainwater with a very high speed. Thus water neither clogs for too long in the field nor does it flow away, but it seeps into the ground. This stops run-off, which otherwise carries with it the valuable soil from farm/ land.

Water-borne disease is the single greatest threat to global health. In India alone, there are 128 million people without access to clean water source.

In KFP there is no direct well recharging. The water is filtered through layers of soil before it reaches to well.
KFP thus solves drinking water problem of a village, if implemented on appropriate scale.
