You can hear it before you see it: the slow rise of frogs, the soft gulp of ponds refilling, the rustle of banana leaves heavy with rain.
At Sportsland, the monsoon isn’t a problem to be managed. It’s a guest we’ve been preparing for years.
Where Water Finds a Home, Not a Drain
In the city, rain rushes — down roads, into drains, away.
At Sportsland, rain stays.
● Contour bunds guide it into the right places.
● Ponds refill without a single tanker.
● Recharge pits send it straight to the aquifers.
Did you know? A single well-designed contour bund can reduce surface runoff by up to 70% and increase soil moisture by 30% during monsoon months (ICAR, 2023).
Soil That Breathes — And Doesn’t Panic
Urban soil is often compacted, sterile, or paved. The result? Waterlogging, erosion, and zero absorption.
Our soil? It’s alive.
● Rich in organic carbon, which helps retain 20x its weight in water
● Covered in mulch that reduces surface evaporation by up to 50%
● Active microbial networks that turn water into life
Healthy soil isn’t just good for farming — it’s our first line of defense against climate extremes.
Built for the Sky, Not Against It
While most structures repel water, ours cooperate with it:
● Thatched roofs redirect rainwater into collection tanks
● Fields slope naturally to direct flow into storage ponds
● Permeable paths allow water to sink in, not run off
Proper rainwater harvesting systems like ours can recharge up to 1,00,000 litres of water per acre each season.
Monsoon Isn’t Chaos. It’s Coordination.
When land is shaped intentionally, rain becomes restorative.
● 1 inch of rain on 1 acre = 27,000 gallons of water
● With the right catchment design, nearly 80% of that can be stored or reabsorbed
● This means cooler land, longer hydration, and less dependence on external sources
At Sportsland, we’re not trying to control the rain. We’re simply working with it — like our ancestors once did.
This is What Sustainability Looks Like — Measured in Millimetres
The average rainfall in NCR during monsoon is around 600 mm.
At Sportsland, that’s not a number — it’s a plan.
● Every drop has a destination
● Every slope has a reason
● Every pond has a purpose
While cities flood or dry out, we harvest, hold, and hydrate.
