Butterfly Pond Project in Gurugram

"Gurujal"*, an initiative by Gurgaon administration to address the water crisis in Gurgaon, invited proposals by citizens in three areas of pond cleaning, bio remediation and micro STP.

*Gurugram has been facing a water crisis at an alarming rate. The rapid urbanisation and constant pressure on the ground water has led to it being a DARK ZONE.  To address this issue the government has formulated an initiative named Guru-Jal.
It is an INTEGRATED WATER MANAGEMENT initiative under the District Administration of Gurugram, Govt. of Haryana in collaboration with, Hero, CII, TERI SAS etc, to understand the gravity and the root causes of the problem. It aims to address the issue using a systems thinking approach with creative design solutions.

Butterfly Pond in Gurugram

After several consultations with Uthhan, Forest Department and landscape architects- (Uthaan is the NGO who is managing the Thousand Shades Butterfly Park in Gurugram),  we have finally drawn up a workable sketch for the proposed water pond in one acre of the butterfly park.

Here is the sketch




We expect work to start soon and finish before the monsoon sets in.
This leaves us with very little time to raise the funds required for the project.   As you are aware, the butterfly pond project is being crowdfunded by IndianWildlifeclub.com
