During monsoon season, rainwater is always posting a threat to flooding the farmland, cities, and endanger the life of the people.
In Dry season, Farmers always face a water shortage, many cities run out of fresh water supply due to Limited storage capacity of freshwater. And the over use of groundwater, the matter of fact, some area do not have the access to fresh water at all because their last resource, the aquifer, were depleted.
And That is the circle of hardship. Flood, drought, flood, drought and it never ends.
Our project was named “Groundwater Bank”. The goal is to save excess water in monsoon season and store it underground, then pumps out and used it during drought season. So farmers can have enough water to feed their crop and improve their life quality.
