Rainwater harvesting cost in Sirohi
That buys a filter on the downpipe and a recharge pit with a 120 ft recharge bore, which sends about 56,525 litres of Sirohi's rain back into the ground every year. The bore is the biggest cost, so the final price depends on how deep the water-bearing layer is under your plot; most groundwater monitoring wells in Sirohi read 10–20 m below ground.

Is it worth it in Sirohi?
Sirohi pumps out 119% of the groundwater that can safely be taken out each year (2025, Central Ground Water Board), rated over-exploited. The water table is falling, so every litre put back helps keep borewells running. A house system puts back about 6 water tankers of 10,000 litres a year.
