A two-in-one well
The coastal village of Velneshwar in Maharashtra is home to a unique
well that doubles up as a rainwater storage tank. Shree Padre finds
out more about this novel dual-purpose structure.
24 April 2008 - Can your open well double up as a rainwater tank? The
very concept may sound whimsical to many, but not so in the coastal
village of Velneshwar in Ratnagiri district of Maharashtra. Such a
well – maybe the country's first two-storied well – has been in
function here since four years. This unique well is the brainchild of
Dr Chandrashekhar Gadgil and Ravindra Nene, both from nearby Pune...

Shree Padre is a journalist with many years of experience in
agricultural reporting. He is the author of several books, including
one on rainwater harvesting, published by Altermedia.
