Piezometers were installed in these farms to assist in sampling and water table monitoring. In addition, a basic topography survey was conducted to delineate depressions and identify problem areas.

Authorities have also been asked to coordinate with the district groundwater department to ensure that all high-rise residential societies have operational rooftop rainwater harvesting systems.

The piezometers were established and modified between the completion of the dam in 1955 and 2012 to gather the best geological readings. The instruments still provide accurate data for engineers.

In the third phase, a total of 35 piezometers have been installed to measure the rise in groundwater levels during the flooding cycles,” said a senior official associated with the project.
