Based on the survey and research, GAP proposed a detailed plan for rejuvenating defunct pits and building new ones to help capture rainwater and alleviate the impact of a rapidly depleting
water table. The plan is now underway in parts of Gurgaon where there are active associations of home owner. A second round of audits of pits were conducted and repairs were undertaken and in the third phase, the plan is to build new pits in areas lacking any rainwater harvesting structures.
