Closing the demand supply gap through rainwater harvesting - A case study of Sargasan - Gujarat
Posted on 31 Aug, 2009 02:31 PMThis paper presented at the International Symposium on Artificial Recharge (ISAR-4) Adelaide, Australia describes the attempts made by VIKSAT at experimentation with artificial recharge technique in a peri-urban area called Sargasan in Gandhinagar taluka, Gujarat.
