CBSE Science Fair Exhibition Project, “ The Unique Kundi Bhandara” Theme “Energy Resource & Conservation” for Class 9, Class 10 and 12

Project Name : The Unique Kundi Bhandara

 

Theme Name : Energy Resource & Conservation

 

 

This is an innovative water storage and supply system build by Abdul Raheem Khan-E-Khanain 1675 around 400 years back in Mughal Era.The water is brought down to the Kundies by River Tapti in Satpura ranges. There are 103 Kundies all over the city and water moves by the
process of aeration from one Kundi to another then it is collected in jail karanj by capillary rise and then supplied to the city by 7inch clay pipes. The system works on the principal of gravity. With the passage of time there is calcium carbonate deposit in the walls which is proving to be quiet harmful and there is a decrease in the water holding capacity. Earlier the water was supplied to 1 million people but now it is only supplied in LalBagh area to 50,000 people. The water in this system gets purified naturally by sedimentation.

We are here to make a difference by creating awareness among people about a wonderful site that can be used to save the country from energy crisis as least thermal energy is used in this process. If such systems are implemented elsewhere we would soon be called as developed nation instead if being called a developing nation.

Earlier this system was prevalent in Iran but at present it is only functional is Bushanpur, Madhya Pradesh.

Name of the School: Macro Vision Academy, Burhanpur
