Solar Systems Bring Fresh Water to Dudhwa Tiger Reserve Wildlife

• Solar systems installed in Dudhwa Tiger Reserve, Lakhimpur Kheri, Uttar Pradesh, to provide 24-hour fresh water to wildlife.
• The initiative, in collaboration with Earth Brigade Foundation, addresses the drying up of natural wetlands, especially in summer.
• Artificial waterholes and borewells were previously used, but solar-powered systems offer a permanent, intervention-free solution.
• Installations at key locations like Amaha Tal, SD Singh, Machan, Sarauta, Bhadraula Waterhole, and Kishanpur Wildlife Sanctuary Road No. 23.
• Director Dr. H. Raja Mohan states this improves water availability for animals during intense summer heat, ensuring clean drinking water.

Why It Matters: Solar systems in Dudhwa Tiger Reserve ensure continuous fresh water for wildlife, especially during dry seasons.
