Successful production well operation in Srinagar


In past few years, several bank filtration schemes are being implemented in the Himalayan regions of Uttarakhand state in India. At Srinagar, a production well which was commissioned in 2011 has been running successfully for more than a year now and the success has encouraged Uttarakhand Jal Sansthan to drill more production wells in Srinagar as well as in many other hilly towns. The state government is willing to support UJS for the further development of RBF. Studies on water quality and hydrogeology are being carried out since the last one year at the RBF well-field site at Srinagar (WP-1 of Saph Pani).

The picture shows the Saph Pani team members from IIT Roorkee (Dr. Indu Mehrotra, Dr. Ankush Gupta and Mr. Medalson Ronghang), HTWD Germany (Dr. Thomas Grischek and Mr. Thomas Voltz), and Uttarakhand Jal Sansthan (Er. Rohila and staff) measuring some of the water quality parameters on-site and collecting water samples for subsequent analysis in labs at IIT Roorkee, India and Univ. of Applied Sciences Dresden, Germany.
