Project AreaProject Area

A region with Vulnerable Environment & Fragile Ecosystem Scattered & isolated population Hostile Climate (Maximum temperature goes above 50 o C) Recurrent Droughts- 43 of last 50 years have been drought years Acute Drinking Water Scarcity - Only 200 mm rainfall - Saline Ground Water - High Evaporation -‘Not covered’ as per government The Great Indian Thar DesertThe Great Indian Thar Desert Still it is the most densely populated desert in spite of having most scarce water resources

What does Water Scarcity means to this region? Marwar, Thar DesertMarwar, Thar Desert It means Poor Quality of Life It results in No Livelihood, in a predominantly water dependent community It means No Education, since schools would be closed during water scarce months It means Poverty, since the rural economy consisting of rain fed agriculture & livestock rearing is built entirely around the availability of water. And last but not least, it means drudgery for women and girl child Therefore, water availability is the first step towards poverty eradication and women empowerment Women in Rajasthan Walks average 5 to 8 Km a day under scorching sun, 1850 to 3000 Km in a year. 75,000 to 120,000 Km in life. (which means two to three times around the Earth Planet, for fetching water) It is the women who are most impacted by water scarcity because they are responsible for - cooking - washing - for providing drinking water for family and livestock

Rich TraditionsRich Traditions Water HarvestingWater Harvesting Developed and controlled by people’s institutions Sanctity attached to principles of conservation, equity and utilization An adaptive strategy to the adverse and changing climate Gauchar Agor Orans

Following a participatory approach emphasis is laid on creating, facilitating and strengthening village level institutions of collective wisdom to promote their rich tradition of water management Methodology The strategy promotes local technology for water management which uses local expertise and material that is simple to understand and therefore very popular Focus is laid on three broad areas- Community Institution Community Contribution Community Empowerment

Facilitating Social CapitalFacilitating Social Capital Jal Sansad-Division level Jal Parishad- Organizational level Jal Samiti- Block level Jal Sabha- Village level

Talab (Village Pond) Nadi (Pond situated in grasslands) Nahar (Feeder Channel) School Tanka (underground tank; harvesting & storage) Community Tanka (underground tank; harvesting & storage) Beri (Recharge Well) Sand Dam (Innovative rain water harvesting technique) Types of rainwater harvesting structures

Impacts 600,000 Beneficiary community 450 villages reached 1500 Water Harvesting Structures Revived People’s Contribution % of the cost of the structure is borne by the community 3500 million litres harvested each year 2100 homes equipped with toilets 100 hectares of land reclaimed
