Himachal Pradesh Government is building ‘Forest Ponds’.
These are built to check the depletion of the groundwater and to harvest the rainwater.
The state government under the Parvat Dhara Scheme has initiated the rejuvenation of the water resources and recharging aquifers through the Forest Department.
The Parvat Dhara Scheme aims at enhancing the water level by retaining it for the maximum period of time.
