I have 10 acres of agricultural land in Kumbhari village south Sholapur, Maharashtra. Our average rainfall is around 500mm. In my farm about 1.5 feet of topsoil is there and after that it is cracked stones.After 25 feet under ground we have solid black rocks. My land is the lowest point in surrounding 100 acres. Well is now full and overflowing. Its depth is only 30 feet. However in April it runs dry. How do I tap the runoff water. So that the same can be stored and utilized when needed. Some suggest drilling 50 feet deep boreholes and blastin inside to create storage . Will this technique help? Or is there any other solution. End use of the stored water is in horticultural activity - pomo/keshar mango etc.
