WATER MANAGEMENT IN HIVARE

Hivare village falls within a drought-prone patch in the district of Pune in Maharashtra. Villagers used to face severe drinking water shortage during summer, and farmers could barely cultivate two crops each season. Now, under the initiative of an NGO, villagers have constructed small check-dams on rivulets in the village. Built just after the monsoons, they prevent the water prevented from running off. And help recharge the aquifers in the village.
