Soil Moisture Conservation & Water Management

Soil Moisture Conservation at Atei Jungle

Soil moisture conservation is vital for maintaining forest health, improving water availability, preventing soil erosion, and sustaining biodiversity. At Atei Jungle, scientific soil and water conservation measures are implemented to enhance ecosystem resilience and ensure long-term ecological balance.

Contour Trenches & Bunds

Contour trenches and earthen bunds are constructed across slopes to slow down surface runoff, enhance rainwater infiltration, and prevent soil erosion.

Water Harvesting Structures

Check dams, percolation tanks, and small water harvesting structures help retain rainwater, recharge groundwater, and improve soil moisture levels.

Vegetative Cover & Mulching

Plantation activities, grass seeding, and mulching protect soil from direct sunlight, reduce evaporation, and improve moisture retention.

Sustainable Forest Management

Integrated soil moisture conservation supports afforestation, wildlife water availability, and long-term sustainability of forest ecosystems.
