Improving agricultural livelihoods of marginalised tribal households of two blocks of Ratlam district, Madhya Pradesh, through sustainable groundwater management
High propensity to drought and rapid soil erosion triggered by high intensity rainfall and high wind speeds leads to sub-optimal storage of water in the Ratlam district. Through the use of watershed interventions the project was able to improve sub-surface water availability. The project also assessed utilisation potential and set up dug wells on the basis of hydro geological understanding.
