It frees excess water from flood prone and waterlogged farmland by drawing all the excess water underground and making land accessible for farming.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite news|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/ahmedabad/Gujarats-Bhungroo-gets-global-recognition/articleshow/45768141.cms|title=Gujarat&#039;s &#039;Bhungroo&#039; gets global recognition - Times of India|newspaper=The Times of India |date=6 January 2015 |publisher=}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Advantages==<br /> The water stored during rainy season in unsaturated layers of soils can be pumped for farming in dry season, hence farmers can have dual season farming.<br /> <br /> ==Disadvantages==<br /> The direct injection of runoff water can also carry unused fertilizers and pesticides remaining in the soil. This leads to contamination of subsurface aquifers.<br /> <br /> The farm chemicals containing urea can also alter pH of subsurface water and pollute the water.<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Agriculture in India]]<br /> [[Category:Appropriate technology]]<br /> [[Category:Water conservation]]</div>
