The Nagander Panchayat Halqa falls under the hilly areas of CD Block Pampore of District Pulwama and has been suffering from various problems viz (i) low ground water table ,(ii) unavailability of reliable natural water source (iii) absence of any man made water harvesting structures, (iv) Recurrence of flash floods in rainy season, which has made life of the people miserable. To address these problems, water retaining structures like Check dams in crates (430 Nos), Rain water harvesting tanks (17 Nos), Bench terracing and Graded Bunds (4 nos covering more than 5 Ha) and Farm ponds (3 nos. during current plan) were constructed under IWMP-IV project. The Intervention improved water harvesting potential of the watershed, and increased productivity of the land as well as supplementing irrigation to agriculture field. These water retaining structures also improved the groundwater level and the check dams also prevented the damage of agricultural land from flash floods. With the intervention of this Scheme, the works executed by Rural development has helped in improving the water availability with the result the economy of the farmers of the area has been progressively improved. 18
