    Duration: 2019-01-01 - 2025-12-31

    The focus of Phase 1 (January 2019 to March 2022) was to increase access to irrigation through rejuvenation of traditional tanks and dissemination of improved practices for adoption by farmers. As silt accumulation was a major problem for these water bodies, de-siltation was prioritised as an intervention for tank rejuvenation. Silt extracted was lifted by farmers in the tank catchment and applied to their agricultural land. During this phase, it was observed that farmers were struggling with poor crop yields. This was on account of use of poor seed quality and poor soil health. While silt application helped improve soil moisture and soil health to an extent, it was evident that the region’s farmers needed additional support to transform their poor yield crop cycle to abundant produce. This would require extensive awareness amongst farmers to undertake practices such as seed treatment and application of locally produced organic nutrient inputs instead of chemical inputs. The objectives of the second phase are therefore to build on the foundation of tank rehabilitation and to sustain impact in the communities by: Codification of the tank rejuvenation approach – both at a regional hydrogeological scale and at an individual tank operation unit to mobilise government and other resources for large-scale rejuvenation of tanks across both states of UP and MP Ensuring effective governance of the rejuvenated tanks via community-based Tank Management Committees so that the tanks serve the catchment families equitably, are well maintained and continue to stay functional post programme closure Catalysing widespread behavior change amongst farmers to adopt improved agricultural practices leading to better soil health, judicious input use, enhanced yields, and overall well-being
