Hi,
In our farm, we have a percolation pit( 20 *20) adjoining the borewell, built this season. We have been pumping water into it from the channel close by. We have noticed that the water seems to be draining very quickly upto the last 2 feet (in about2 weeks) and the last 2 feet of water seems to have remained for the about 2 weeks now. I suspect some drainage in the sides and am looking for a natural solution for the same. If it was the bottom, then we were thinking of layering it with clay, but since it seems to be sides, we cannot do the same. We dont want to use plastic sheets or cement.
Can anyone suggest a possible natural solution for our problem?
Regards
Vedha
