Presentation on: Implementation of Various Water Conservation/augmentation Practices in Participatory Mode By: Gram Vikas Navyuvak Mandal Laporiya (GVNML) Dudu, Jaipur, Rajasthan, 303008, www.gvnml.org Nurturing sustainable local change www.gvnml.org Water Scenario in Dhundhar Region (Impact of Water Conservations works) Unbelievable – it is Rajasthan Bhujal Impact of all coordinated and Integrated work on rain water conservation and community based regulations on Bhujal use. Nurturing sustainable local change www.gvnml.org Water Scenario in Dhundhar Region (Shambhar Salt Lake area) Dhundhar covers area of Ajmer, Jaipur, Dausa, Tonk, Swaimadhopur districts Mostly plain and small hills Actual average rainfall of last 20 year is 438MM It is India's largest saline lake and is the source of most of Rajasthan's salt production. It produces around 2 lacks tonnes of clean salt every year, which equates to around 9% of India's salt production Nurturing sustainable local change www.gvnml.org Water Scenario in Dhundhar Region (Common Property Resources) Soil Erosion Encroachment Illegal Mining Tree falling Nurturing sustainable local change www.gvnml.org Water Scenario in Dhundhar Region (Common Property Resources) Nurturing sustainable local change www.gvnml.org Water Scenario in Dhundhar Region (Common Property Resources) 1. Every village have around 125 hectare grazing land 2. Small and marginal farmer dependent on small ruminants and 2-3 big animals. Where we go…… Nurturing sustainable local change www.gvnml.org Water Scenario in Dhundhar Region (Common Property Resources) Cluster has to be developed, one or two village is not enough. Communication should be effective and action oriented. Nurturing sustainable local change www.gvnml.org Water Scenario in Dhundhar Region (Common Property Resources) Communication process will be lead by community itself, it must be designed such a way they can continue it without outside support. Nurturing sustainable local change www.gvnml.org Water Scenario in Dhundhar Region (Process followed) Conserve rain water wherever it falls, GVNML model for each and every place. Habitat area can be covered by RRWHS, Pastureland by Chauka, agriculture land by farm pond, etc. Connecting Talabs will reduce the problem of erratic rain fall and flood/drought problem. Flood and Drought can be Holistic approach like saving birds, controlled with one plan. poaching/hunting stopped, planting fodder trees through seeds at all possible places. Nurturing sustainable local change www.gvnml.org Water Scenario in Dhundhar Region (Process Followed) Village Master planning for resources dev. & mgt.

Water Scenario in Dhundhar Region (Technology Development) It is a Biodiversity conservation initiative, there is a natural growth of local flora and fauna, 10% pastureland land is reserved for wildlife and biomass. Small ruminents can be survive in drought through fodder trees. Nurturing sustainable local change www.gvnml.org Water Scenario in Dhundhar Region (Technology Development – Farm Pond) Rain water harnessing at agri. Land for saving ground water, saving energy and restoring nutrition valve of soil. It can save crop during dry spell in Mansoon and surface irrigation for winter crop. Nurturing sustainable local change www.gvnml.org Water Scenario in Dhundhar Region (Technology Development –Talab/village Pond) Village Common Talab/Pond for general use and Irrigation Talab • Surface water of 20 villages is managed such a way that zero discharge even in double annual average rainfall. • Maximum focus on surface gravity flow irrigation and use of ground water is minimized. • Plan for different use of water, different types of structure at different locations. Nurturing sustainable local change www.gvnml.org Water Scenario in Dhundhar Region (Impact of Water Conservations works) There is remarkable impact on livelihood, migration with animals stopped 97%. A small village Laporiya sold milk worth of Rs. 4.4 million in a year(189 families), there is milk collection center, chilling plant in a small village. Nurturing sustainable local change www.gvnml.org Water Scenario in Dhundhar Region (Impact of Water Conservations works) Water quality Before After content intervention intervention Fluoride 2.1 0.95 Nitrate 30.5 17.5 pH 8.73 8.0 Nurturing sustainable local change www.gvnml.org Water Scenario in Dhundhar Region (ECO-Management) Eco-Parks (Dev-banni, Jangli Janawaron ka Awaas) 1. The park developed on a area of 5-20 hectare land in each working villages (it is 2-3% of total village area) mainly in Pasture land. 2. The land piece have been covered from all sides by ditch and throne fencing. 3. Some water conservation and plantation of desi trees/grass is applied if the land is degraded. Nurturing sustainable local change www.gvnml.org Water Scenario in Dhundhar Region (Impact of Water Conservations works) Social rules is as strong as people have not killed even rats.
