]]> In December 2020, the team under a CSR-supported partnership project implemented by the S M Sehgal Foundation approached the members of Chula panchayat and the community of Guwada with a proposal to construct a check dam across this stream, so that the rainwater would accumulate in it and recharge the groundwater. This proposal was enthusiastically accepted by the people who understood that the depleting groundwater level was a problem for them.

The check dam construction began in December 2020 and was completed in April 2021. During the monsoon season, the three farmers whose homes are close to the check dam reported that the water level in their wells had come up by about thirty feet. The villagers were enthused upon observing these results and realized this was an investment for their future.
