Haritha Kerala Mission plans to utilize water from abandoned quarries to enhance groundwater levels in Ernakulam. The initiative will start at a three-acre quarry in Chillanthode, using a solar pump to channel water to local canals.

The project aims to address severe water shortages in the area and encourages local bodies to participate due to low initial costs. The state government has allocated ₹10 lakh for this initiative, supported by Anert, the irrigation department, and the groundwater department.
