India's lifeline is groundwater. In rural areas, it provides 85 percent of the drinking water supply. Groundwater also supplies around 65 percent of urban drinkable water. Similarly, water below the ground irrigates 65 percent of agricultural land and meets around 55 percent of industrial demand.
In the backdrop of the aforementioned, there have been a number of notable water conservation efforts by farming communities across India in the previous year. This collection seeks to bring some of them together, covering some of the most important water conservation measures adopted by Indian governments at the state and national levels.
Working extensively on-farm sustainability & techniques to optimize water use, efficiency, and conservation, as well as delivering solutions and knowledge that improve agricultural output and enrich the lives and livelihoods of farmers all over the world. Conducting a webinar with notable speakers from the industry to educate farmers on the Sustainable Use of Water in Agriculture will be a fantastic idea.
With this in mind, Krishi Jagran in association with FMC India is hosting a Webinar on 'World Water Day 2022' with the theme "Sustainable Use of Water in Agriculture." This session will begin at 3:00 PM on March 22nd, 2022.
Focus Areas:
-
Assess seasonal water availability - surface and groundwater- at the village level
-
Assess current & projected water demand for domestic, agricultural, livestock, and livelihood purposes
-
Match current water availability to demand
-
Choose crops and cropping patterns based on net water availability while keeping household food security and market (income) needs in mind
-
Introduce water-saving technologies such as drip irrigation, sprinklers, and mulching, and encourage more water harvesting
-
A shift from a supply-driven to a demand-side management approach
