Take care of the earth and she will take care of you
“Men are born from you and function on you. You support the men and the animals
The trees and plants firmly stand on you. The sea, the rivers and other water reservoir are found on you. The forest animals roam on you.
The birds of various kinds fly over you. The hills and mountain
with rich forest stands on you. The rice and barley grow on you. The rich deposits of gold and other minerals are found on you. The autumn winter and rainy season enrich you. The breezes moves on you spreading the fragrant flower dust and gently moving the trees.
O prithivi, you are my mother and I am your son.”
- Prithvi Sukta of Atharva Veda
Mission For The Current Decade
To Contribute
in reduction of CO2 levels in the atmosphere from 380 ppm to 280 ppm
through
Photosynthesis
for the betterment of all living beings
&
survival of our mother earth.
Save the Earth
By
Promoting
Photosynthesis
Save the Earth, There is no Planet B
Changes in rain fall pattern causing flood, draught and increased risk in farmingPoor & small farmers are becoming more vulnerableSoil fertility is reducingGround water levels are reducing dangerously Sea levels are risingInflation due to rise in food pricesSerious health issuesDevelopment has become economy centered on GDP base, resulting in non-inclusive growthSocial & ecological values are not considered in development
Burning Issues of Current Decade
Biomass productions – crops, grasses and trees
Appropriate land and water management by millions of farmers especially small and marginal farmers
Even Urban agriculture
Solutions Can Come From
An integrated approach to planning using the whole River Basin as a basis for holistic & sustainable planning, can provide a good solution to ensure Economic, Social and Environmental sustainability.
River Basin
If the River basin is seen from the perspective of an Agro-Industrial Complex with responsible use of natural assets & resources, for providing renewable resources as Raw Materials, to which value addition is done by appropriate processes & technologies, it can lead to the objectives narrated above
Agro Industrial Complex
Aim:
To create an integrated and sustainable development model on Rukmavati river basin
Objectives:• To understand potential of various natural resources like water,
land, vegetation etc. within the basin and educate the stakeholders about the situation
• To understand issues and challenges of the river basin management
• To understand existing socio-economic status from its problems and perspective point of view
• To institutionalize decentralized and people centered resource management mechanism
• To generate economic well being along with human well being and environmental well being
• To mange micro climate in the basin area

BASIN AREA PROFILEBASIN AREA PROFILE

• In the upper part of the basin, sand stone aquifer was very good source of water and similarly in the lower side sandy aquifer, in the past decades (Map)
• Farmers were traditionally irrigating their fields though flood irrigation and wasted ground water blindly
• By the time, to meet the irrigation demand, ground water extraction is increased rapidly with development of technologies like drilling of tube wells, Submersible pups etc..
• During the same period rain fall in the area was very low (Ave.350mm/ year)
• Consequently, water level gone down dangerously and at present in the lower part, level is far bellow the mean sea level which cause salinity ingress in costal aquifer (Hydrograph)
• In spite of that still only 31 % of total agri. land is having irrigation facilities while 69% is remain as rain fed or non irrigated
• Due to salinity ingress agricultural and horticultural crops are badly affected viz. Salinization of soil etc, decreased productivity

Approach and Methodology
There are three phases of the entire project
Planning phaseImplementation phaseManagement phase
April 19, 2023 20
Selection of local youth as para engineers Intensive Training of selected para engineers. Mapping of basin area. . (Base map-land use map, Water Resource
Map, Geomorphology, Geo hydrology , Water level & Water quality map etc..)
Detail Basin Survey - ( Agriculture - Surface water - Animal husbandry - Rain fed farming-Irrigated farming (Through wells, Ponds, Dams, Canals etc.)- Well inventory- Food and fodder)
Formation of different types of groups Linkages & integration with various resources & & creating services Data Analysis: Analysis of data for strategic planning. Village wise Action plan with villagers through PRA (Participatory
Rural appraisal) Water harvesting structures - 25 structures completed and 13 in
progr.

Impacts of rain water harvesting
Water level rise:Water level (m) Minimum Maximum
Pre monsoon 06 170
Post monsoon 03 165
Water level rise in basin area due to ground water recharging : 1.0 to 8.0 meters
Average rise : 4.0 m
Improvement in water quality
TDS (ppm) Minimum Maximum
Pre monsoon 882 9080
Post monsoon 326 4180
pH Minimum Maximum
Pre monsoon 7.14 9.14
Post monsoon 7.06 8.81
Water samples collected from monitoring wells show the following result
TDS (ppm) value reduced due to ground recharge from 190 ppm to 6815 ppm
pH value reduced due to ground recharge from 0.11 to 1.21

IMPLEMENTATION PHASE
For proper implementation, basin is divided into five clusters based on hydro- geological characteristics and problems of the area
We will adapt suitable strategy to overcome the problems for each cluster
Activates as per strategy will be carried out through linkages with Govt. departments and other funding agencies
Groups formed during planning phase will be involved in each stage of implementation

Restored fresh water eco-systemIncreased soil fertilityIncreased crop productivity
Agri./Horticulture development and greenery in the basin
More photosynthesis

The main expectation from this project is to demonstrate successful model of river basin management that can be replicated
Each cluster of the basin will be self reliant on their drinking water, food ,fodder and fuel requirement
Improvement of water quality as per drinking and irrigation norms
Green cover on the land will be restored
Finally contribute to improve GDP of the basin area, improve happiness index & Human Development Index of this basin area.
