Heavy siltation, w**d infestation, sewage influx and solid waste dumping caused gradual reduction in water storage capacity of the Antia Talab in Jhansi. This waterbody required immediate sustainable interventions to revive the waterbody and its surroundings.
To address this challenge, EHM implemented a comprehensive eco-centric rejuvenation project- addressing two key aspects i.e., environmental and financial sustainability of the project.
By treating the water naturally and restoring the aquatic ecosystem, this project turns a neglected urban waterbody into a vibrant community asset while delivering significant water security impact:
β’ Groundwater Recharge & Water Security: Restores natural water storage capacity, recharging local aquifers and raising surrounding water tables.
β’ Ecological & Biodiversity Restoration: Protects local waterbodies and restores native aquatic habitats, flora and bird life naturally.
β’ Climate Resilience & Flood Control: Absorbs stormwater runoff during monsoon periods while cooling local ambient surface temperatures.
By restoring natural aquatic assets, eco-centric engineering turns degraded waterbodies into sustainable, long-term water resources.
