The water crisis is a defining global challenge of our times - the JalTara approach of digging small recharge pits in rural farmland can help solve both droughts and floods.
Welcome to JalTara, a revolutionary mobile app developed by Save Groundwater Foundation, designed to empower JalTara Sevaks in their crucial role of planning, executing and recording groundwater recharge pits. This comprehensive tool supports Sevaks throughout the JalTara project, aiding in data gathering and execution phases.

The app captures farmer, recharge pit, well, and equipment data on the field - including capturing exact GPS coordinates, photographs for every single recharge pit. The app enables JalTara Sevaks to execute JalTara projects in villages - including providing training on JalTara best practices.

We understand the challenges of working in remote areas with limited connectivity. It operates seamlessly in offline mode, allowing users to enter and store data locally even without an internet connection. When connectivity is restored, the app efficiently syncs all locally stored data with the server, ensuring a robust and reliable data management system.

Key considerations in the app's design include a low bandwidth assumption, optimizing data transfer between the server and the app. The multilingual setup ensures inclusivity with support for English, Hindi, and Marathi, and a flexible system that can easily accommodate additional languages in the future. Furthermore, JalTara maintains a secure, cloud-hosted database, facilitating efficient data storage and retrieval.

JalTara incorporates user-friendly features such as automatic language selection based on the user's phone settings during registration, ensuring a smooth onboarding experience. The app also provides an online/offline indicator in the top right corner, keeping users informed about their connectivity status.
