        abstract = {A percolation tank is the area of land where all of the water that drains off goes into the groundwater table. A percolation tank was constructed to increase the level of the groundwater table. The recharge from the percolation tank helped generate additional groundwater potential to increase demand, irrigation activity, and water supply for drinking purposes. It has been noticed that even after 65 years of independence, there is a scarcity of water in many Indian villages, and water has to be supplied by tankers in these villages. This demonstrates the importance of percolation tank development, which makes villages self-sufficient. Thus, Indian farmers depend entirely on rainwater for agricultural purposes instead of finding measures to conserve water. Key to increasing agricultural output and improving economic conditions. To address these problems, we are constructing a percolation tank to reserve the trend or to reduce the effect of over-exploitation, as well as to recharge groundwater aquifer. The study also highlights that percolation tanks have immense potential to store rainwater, and the artificial recharge of groundwater aims to augment the groundwater reservoir by modifying the natural movement of surface water.},
