Percolation Wells

Published on 09 Mar 2025

• Percolation wells, a suggested solution to Bengaluru’s water crisis, capture rainwater to restore and recharge groundwater.

• Percolation wells are earthen dams, typically 12 feet deep and 4 feet wide, filled with gravel and lined with concrete rings.

• They capture rainwater, allowing it to percolate down through layers of soil, recharging natural aquifers.
