EK PED MAAKE NAM
Role in Water Conservation
The campaign “EK PED MAAKE NAM ” is not only about planting trees, but also about protecting water and life. Trees play a vital role in water conservation and environmental balance.
🌳 Role of Trees in Water Conservation
Groundwater Recharge
Tree roots help rainwater seep into the soil, which recharges groundwater.
Prevention of Soil Erosion
Trees hold the soil firmly, reducing runoff and allowing rainwater to be conserved.
Protection of Rivers and Water Bodies
Trees control surface flow, reducing siltation in rivers, ponds, and lakes.
Climate Regulation
Through transpiration, trees cool the atmosphere and help maintain regular rainfall patterns.
Control of Floods and Droughts
Forests absorb excess rainwater, reducing floods, and store moisture in the soil, helping prevent droughts.
Availability of Drinking Water
Increased groundwater ensures sustainable water in wells, hand pumps, and tube wells.
