Water Conservation
HELP Foundation has worked towards securing and retaining 32 points in a single Village. These ponds which were once neglected and ruined are slowly being nursed to health through various means.
Description
Farm ponds can be cost-effective structures that transform rural livelihoods. They can help enhance water control, contribute to agriculture intensification and boost farm incomes. However, this is possible only if they act as rainwater harvesting structures and not as intermediate storage points for an increased extraction of groundwater or diversion of canal water. The latter will cause greater groundwater depletion and inequitable water distribution. With an increased variability of monsoons and rapidly depleting groundwater tables, large parts of India are reeling under water stress
