The Check Dam project located at Pendhari Ganpat More in Murbad is a significant initiative aimed at enhancing water conservation in the region. The dam has a storage capacity of 27,300,000 liters of water, which will significantly aid in the availability of water for agricultural and local needs. This project has been fully funded by the program sponsor, Trafigura, with a total budget of 25.66 Lacs. The primary goal was to improve water storage in an area where water scarcity has been a persistent issue.

The project, completed in May 2024, not only benefits the local community by ensuring a steady water supply but also contributes to the region’s economy by creating job opportunities. A total of 12 people were employed as laborers during the construction phase, thereby providing them with much-needed employment and boosting the local economy. The successful completion of this check dam project marks a milestone in the efforts to improve water management and provide sustainable solutions for water needs in Pendhari Ganpat More and the surrounding areas.

With the project now completed and its impact already beginning to show, the check dam stands as a testament to the efforts of Trafigura in supporting local communities and fostering sustainable development. The storage of 27,300,000 liters of water is expected to benefit the agricultural activities in the region, which will improve the livelihoods of the farmers and other residents dependent on water for their daily needs. The project has not only improved water storage but has also played a role in community development and employment.
