We understand the urgency to focus on water conservation, especially in vulnerable regions like Gurugram. To contribute towards environmental rejuvenation of water bodies, we collaborated with Abhipsa Foundation with an intent of restoring natural habitats, recharging groundwater, and supporting overall community well-being.
We undertook a project of pond revival in the Border Security Force (BSF) campus in Bhondsi, Gurugram. The pond was suffering from sewage logging, which led to mosquito-borne diseases and negatively impacted the water supply for the soldiers. To cater to this problem, we followed a multi-step approach of pond rejuvenation including pond development, laying of Geo-Coir on pond slope, installation of wastewater treatment plant, plantation of wetland near the pond, rainwater channelization to the pond, gravel bed set-up for wetland plantation, and so on.
Through our intervention, we were successfully able to transform a polluted pond into a thriving ecosystem. This initiative supported Abhipsa Foundation’s GuruJal initiative, which aims to rejuvenate and rehabilitate ponds to enhance groundwater levels. Our employee volunteers at Brookfield India REIT also actively participated in the initiative through their efforts of painting pathways and planting saplings which demonstrates their commitment to corporate social responsibility.
