Borewell has very less water in Bangalore - Can we divert rainwater directly into the borewell? Will it increase groundwater?

Hi Sir,

My name is Eshwar and I stay in Bangalore. We have a borewell at home. There is an acute shortage of water in our area in the recent months. When we switch on the borewell motor, we get water for 5-10 mins or so. Since the rainy season is here, is it okay to send all the roof rain water directly to the bore well? Will this help us in anyway? Can it be done, will there be any problem if we do this? Will this help to increase the groundwater level?

Please help and suggest as how to use the rainwater.

Regards,
