IIT Roorkee has successfully doubled the water supply to a remote Himalayan village, enhancing access to clean water for residents.
IIT Roorkee’s latest infrastructure project has increased the daily water supply to a remote Himalayan village by 100 percent, according to the institute’s official statement.
The initiative, part of a broader rural development program, involved upgrading the existing pipeline and installing new storage tanks to meet the growing needs of the community.
Local residents reported a noticeable improvement in water availability for drinking, cooking and irrigation, reducing the need for long-distance travel to fetch water.
The institute’s civil engineering team highlighted that the project showcases the practical application of research in addressing real‑world challenges in fragile mountain ecosystems.
