The water hole is connected to a bore well which has submersible motor which pumps 7000 litres of water daily for consumption of animals. Manual filling of water holes took lot of time and disturbed animals in the area. These artificial water holes operate in the day time and stop at night. They are environment friendly as they do not make sound and does not disturbs animal Fauna.
The area around the artificial water holes get greener due to spilling of excess water from the vessel. This enhances the greenery of the forest.
