DCB Bank to inaugurate 25 rainwater recharge wells in B'luru

Sustainableworld
Private lender DCB Bank will tomorrow inaugurate and symbolically mark the beginning of the 25 rainwater recharge wells (RRW) sustainability project in Bengaluru.

  This RRW would act as a powerful groundwater management tool that not only protects and restore aquatic environments, prevents urban flash folding, increases groundwater but also provides employment to well-diggers, the company said in a statement.

  With the continuous issue of ground water shortage in Bengaluru, the Bank is contributing to preserve water by utilising existing natural resources.

  Recharge can help move excess salts that accumulate in the root zone to deeper soil layers, or into the groundwater system. Tree roots increase water saturation into groundwater reducing water runoff.

  Besides this, DCB Bank in collaboration with iNaturewatch Foundation will launch a mobile app “eForestrails” in Mumbai that will help visitors for nature tours in Karnala Bird Sanctuary.

  In Odisha, DCB Bank’s sustainable development initiative in Banki Block, a backward area in Cuttack district is transforming the lives of its inhabitants.

  Local women are trained in the bee-keeping activity to create an inclusive development for the region. They have been successful in promoting cross-pollination and honey collection thereby building a steady source of supplementary income.
