MARVIManaging Aquifer Recharge & Sustaining Groundwater Use through Village level intervention

About MARVI

Why groundwater?

Rain moves through soil and rock into an aquifer. Wells reveal only a small window into a connected underground system.

G / 01

The aquifer is shared

Water pumped from one well can affect neighbours drawing from the same underground store.

G / 02

Rainfall is not recharge

Only part of rain reaches groundwater; soils, geology, land use and structures shape the journey.

G / 03

Trends need time

A single reading is a snapshot. Repeated measurements reveal depletion, recovery and seasonal rhythm.
