- Raipur, the capital of Chhattisgarh, has emerged as a national model for urban water conservation under the Jal Sanchay Jan Bhagidari (JSJB) initiative.
- Nearly 32,000 rainwater harvesting and groundwater recharge structures have been created, including recharge wells, percolation pits, and rooftop harvesting systems.
- The initiative aims to improve groundwater recharge, reduce urban water stress, and develop Raipur as a climate-resilient Sponge City.
- Recharge wells can replenish up to 3 lakh litres of water annually, while injection wells can recharge up to 15 lakh litres per year.
- It also includes pond interlinking, the Kharun River recharge project, and the reuse of treated wastewater for sustainable urban water management.
