Integration of Auroville borewells

 
The FO L’avenir d’Auroville / ATDC announced that the preparation of the development of Auroville-City, planning and development of roads, sectors and facilities has implications for the borewells also. Auroville city has approximately 70 borewells, most of them serving a limited number of residents and services. The FO ATDC will in the coming year integrate 15 to 20 borewells into a common system, run by Auroville Water Service. How, when and in what priority will be published and communicated later. Sharing will decrease the usage per resident significantly, which is needed to preserve groundwater.
