Accelerated Groundwater
Recharge scheme
183, 52 & 22 numbers of rainwater harvesting structures
were constructed during the year 2005-06, 2006-07 and 2007-08
respectively. The budgetary
provision of Rs 75.00 lac has been kept for the year 2008-09, work is under
progress.
Future strategies
Ø Propagation for change in cropping pattern from more water
intensive to less water intensive crops.
Ø Propagation for conjunctive use of surface and ground water
in highly saline areas.
Ø Propagation for water conservation devices viz
Sprinkler/drip for judicious use of ground water.
Ø Artificial recharge in water declining areas
Ø Educating drillers/farmers for installation of tubewells on
scientific lines.
Ø Introduction of Ground water legislation to regulate and
control the development of ground water.
