Panchanadi village, along with Aghari and Borivali, forms the Panchanadi Gram Panchayat in Dapoli Taluka of Ratnagiri District. Despite receiving moderate rainfall, the region faces persistent challenges in water retention and sustainable groundwater levels, making watershed interventions critically important.

To address these issues, we have undertaken the desilting of five cement nala bunds to improve groundwater recharge, revive natural streams, and support long-term biodiversity conservation. Based on primary and expert surveys, these five nala bunds were identified for desilting, along with stone pitching for soil conservation.
