Doable Technology - How to prepare Jalkund

A simple and low-cost rainwater harvesting structure named Jalkund has been developed for storing rainwater in upper terrace conditions of this region. The different steps for preparing Jalkund and use of materials are as follows.

Step 1

Excavation of the kund on selected site is to be  completed before onset of monsoon. The bed and sides of the kund are to be leveled by removing rocks, stones or other projections, which otherwise might damage the lining material. Spraying of insecticide like endosulphon 35EC on surface of the inner walls and bottom and application of aluminum Phosphide @1 tablet /live hole around 5m of the kund are to be done before lining.
