Water Conservation

We have constructed 16 check dams and have rejuvenated 517 wells around the Mann Taluka region of the Satara District.

The dams help

  1. Rejuvenate ground water thus creating year round access to water
  2. Expand arable area and facilitate additional cash crops
  3. Expand businesses like animal husbandry and dairy farming
  4. Enable new businesses such as fisheries
  5. Provide clean water for health and sanitation purposes

OUTCOMES

30,000 people

have benefited from access to clean water.

2x increase

in farmers' incomes because of additional cash crops planted and new businesses such as animal husbandry and fisheries developed.

1,300 hectares

of land have been irrigated.

IMPACT

Reduced migration away from villages.

Women of the communities spend less time finding and transporting water.

Farmers have held on to their main assets — livestock.
