WATER CONSERVATION PROJECTS

The Integrated Watershed Development Project, spearheaded by MGVS, encompasses 27

villages across Vaijapur and Kannad blocks of Aurangabad, Shrirampur of Ahmednagar district, and Amalner Block of Jalgaon District. Aimed at strengthening drinking water sources, this initiative seeks to empower community organizations, conserve runoff, raise groundwater levels, promote efficient water management practices, improve agricultural methods, and enhance household income, thus ensuring sustainability and resilience in waterstressed regions.

ACTIVITIES AND OUTCOMES

• Created 41 Lakh CUM water storage via desilting and constructing check dams, significantly enhancing water availability.
• Constructed 28 new cement check dams and over 158 recharge shafts, increasing groundwater recharge across 27 villages.
• Desilted and revived 8 percolation tanks and 67 nalas, improving the efficiency of water conservation efforts.
• Implemented 14,460 orchard plantations and provided drip/sprinkler sets to farmers, promoting sustainable agriculture and efficient water use.
• Expanded irrigation to 13,538 Ha of land and installed over 380 units of Vermi compost & Amrutjal, boosting agricultural productivity and soil health.

IMPACT

The project markedly enhanced water resilience, elevating agricultural yields, water management, and community livelihoods in drought‐prone regions, benefiting over 20,000 residents by fostering environmental sustainability and economic growth through innovative water conservation and agricultural practices.

Shrimad Rajchandra Mission

The Early Years

Shrimad Rajchandra Water Conservation Programme

Less than 0.5% of the water on earth is available as fresh water. More than a billion people lack access to safe drinking water and more than 2.4 billion people lack adequate sanitation. Global consumption of water is doubling every 20 years, more than twice the rate of human population growth. If current trends persist, by 2025 the demand for freshwater is expected to rise to 56% above the amount that is currently available – which will result in as much as 2/3rd of the world population unable to access clean water. As per WHO, there are 4 billion cases of diarrhoea worldwide each year and 2.2 million avoidable deaths – that is a death every 14 seconds. 35% of these can be avoided by just providing clean water to wash hands. 90% of wastewater in developing countries is discharged into rivers or streams without any treatment. We as humans are consuming water and are jointly responsible for its depletion. Hence, we should do our best to conserve water.

Under this project, campaigns in and around Dharampur, amongst farmers, industries and the local population are initiated to increase awareness. Land Water Recharging Projects are undertaken. Efforts are underway to tie up with existing NGOs in the Dharampur area for water harvesting projects for villagers. 1.5 million Litres of water are recycled annually through a water recycling plant at the ashram. This recycled water can be used for various activities.
