Soil and moisture conservation measures

Being a production facility, TARAgram needs assured water throughout the year. Infact, its requirement is approximately 100,000 litres of fresh water per day. Designing the site for sustainable water management assumed, therefore, prime importance. The initial site work was entirely devoted to water conservation structures including gully plugs and drainage channels.
To ensure adequate ground water recharging,Gully Plug the first checkdam was constructed on a stream that borders the site. The reservoir thus created retains water throughout the year and ensures adequate charging into an open well, which is the main source of water for TARAgram operations.
The geo-hydrological formations fortunately ensure that the water is potable quality and, because of the recharge caused by the check dam and in contrast to most other places in the area, water is available throughout the year.
