Install a catch basin system (used broadly and successfully in New Delhi) on the university campus to replenish the water table with the natural rains that falls during monsoon season, which have increasingly been running off as a function of urbanization, so that the population will have access to cleaner water without having to build bore-wells that tap and pollute the aquifer.

A group of law and medical students will work to replenish the water table in Bangalore, India using techniques that have proven very successful in New Delhi. Groundwater is polluted and diminishing, making it difficult for locals to reach water, even with expensive and deep bore-wells.

Urbanization means that the run-off from the very wet monsoon season no longer seeps naturally through the earth to the water table. The solution is to install catch basins on the roofs of buildings and bore-wells just a few feet under the concrete to re-inject the natural monsoon water into the water table. The team will use their own 25-acre campus as a test area.
