Our Approach to Water Conservation

We employ a holistic approach to water conservation that addresses both ecological and community needs. By combining traditional knowledge with modern techniques, we develop sustainable solutions that ensure water security for present and future generations.

Lake Restoration

  • Desilting and deepening
  • Bund strengthening
  • Native species planting
  • Community management

Rainwater Harvesting

  • Rooftop collection systems
  • Storage tank installation
  • Filtration mechanisms
  • Usage optimization

Groundwater Recharge

  • Recharge well construction
  • Percolation pit creation
  • Aquifer monitoring
  • Sustainable extraction

Water Conservation Systems We Implement

We implement various water conservation systems tailored to local conditions and community needs, each designed to maximize environmental and economic benefits.

Lake Restoration

Lake Restoration

We rejuvenate urban and rural lakes by removing silt, strengthening embankments, and planting native species around water bodies.

  • Increased water storage capacity
  • Improved water quality
  • Enhanced biodiversity
  • Flood mitigation
Rainwater Harvesting

Rainwater Harvesting

We design and implement rainwater harvesting systems in schools, communities, and urban areas to capture and utilize rainwater effectively.

  • Reduced dependency on municipal water
  • Groundwater recharge
  • Flood prevention
  • Water security during dry seasons
Groundwater Recharge

Groundwater Recharge

We create recharge wells and percolation pits to replenish groundwater levels and ensure sustainable water availability.

  • Rising water table levels
  • Sustainable water access
  • Prevention of land subsidence
  • Improved water quality

Jakkur Lake

Handenahalli & Sollepura Lake Recharge

Recent rainfall has helped Handenahalli and Sollepura lakes in Bengaluru collect nearly 2 million liters of rainwater—an encouraging development actively monitored by SayTrees, a city-based environmental NGO.

  • 2 million liters of rainwater captured
  • Enhanced local water security through natural recharge
  • Scientific monitoring by SayTrees environmental experts
  • Model for sustainable rainwater harvesting in urban lakes
School Rainwater Harvesting

Reviving Lakes, Restoring Hope

SayTrees' intervention in three Bengaluru lakes over the past year has led to remarkable transformations—reviving ecosystems and inspiring similar efforts citywide.

  • Vabasandra Lake: Fully rejuvenated in under 3 months
  • Konasandra Lake: Completely restored in just 3 months
  • Kyalasanahalli Lake: Over 13,000 native saplings planted
  • Setting a benchmark for rapid, nature-based lake rejuvenation
