QUESTION
About recharging a borewell using rainwater

Hello,

Is it good to drain rainwater around borewell? We have a borewell, 125ft deep dug in 2007. After putting in a system for rainwater harvesting in Feb 2013 we have reduced yield in borewell during rainy season which was not so earlier. What may be the cause?Kindly advice us at what distance from the borewell should the rainwater be drained?
