TAILIEUCHUNG - Smart rainwater storage technologies for increasing farmer’s economy in rainfed and tribal areas of Chhattisgarh

Water scarcity has many negative impacts on the environment, including lakes, rivers, wetlands, and other fresh water resources. Furthermore, water shortage makes flow management in the rehabilitation of village streams problematic. Owing to poor water resource management system and climate change India faces a persistent water shortage. Indian agriculture accounts for 90% water use due to fast track ground water depletion and poor irrigation systems. Water is a critical input into agriculture in nearly all its aspects having a determining effect on the eventual yield. Adequate availability of water is important for crop and animal husbandry as well. India accounts for about 17% of the world’s population but only 4% of the world fresh water resources. Distribution of these water resources across the vast expanse of the country is also uneven. The water received is prone to runoff, seepage and percolation much faster than its uptake for crop growth. This causes potential water shortage for rainfed rice at various stages and discourages adoption of modern rice technology. Thus development of irrigation is only the solution to meet-out the food demand of ever growing population and alleviating poverty from rural area. | Smart rainwater storage technologies for increasing farmer’s economy in rainfed and tribal areas of Chhattisgarh
