Union Jal Shakti Minister Launches Punah Bharan Mobile Application

The Union Minister of Jal Shakti has launched the Punah Bharan Mobile Application, which was developed by BISAG-N in collaboration with the National Water Mission (NWM) under the Ministry of Jal Shakti. Designed to support scientific groundwater recharge planning, the application allows users to identify potential artificial recharge zones within a radial distance of up to 3 km and explore suitable structures based on local conditions. Additionally, a web portal provides village-level Artificial Recharge Structure zonation maps, GIS tools, and thematic layers using geospatial datasets such as rainfall, groundwater levels, yield, slope, and drainage.
