  6. 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

  7. 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.

  8. Save the Earth, There is no Planet B Save the Earth By Promoting Photosynthesis

  9. Burning Issues of Current Decade • Changes in rain fall pattern causing flood, draught and increased risk in farming • Poor & small farmers are becoming more vulnerable • Soil fertility is reducing • Ground water levels are reducing dangerously • Sea levels are rising • Inflation due to rise in food prices • Serious health issues • Development has become economy centered on GDP base, resulting in non-inclusive growth • Social & ecological values are not considered in development

  10. Solutions Can Come From • Biomass productions – crops, grasses and trees • Appropriate land and water management by millions of farmers especially small and marginal farmers • Even Urban agriculture

  11. River Basin 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.

  12. Agro Industrial Complex 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

  13. A Case Study Rukmavati River Basin, Kutchh District, GujaratAims and Objectives 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

  14. RUMAVATI RIVER BASIN 9/11/2014 14

  15. BASIN AREA PROFILE No of Villages : 46 Total population : 108033 Total area : 59075 Ha. Total Agri. Area : 33477 Ha. (Irri.Area : 10268 Ha). Culti. waste land : 5649 Ha Forest area : 4282 Ha. Other Land : 15671 Ha. 15 11 September 2014

  16. Historical background and factors leading to the current situation • 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 11 September 2014 16

  17. Approach and Methodology There are three phases of the entire project Planning phase Implementation phase Management phase 11 September 2014 19

  18. PLANNING PHASE • 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. 11 September 2014 20

  20. Over flowing check dam- Nagalpar

  21. Impacts of rain water harvesting Water level rise: Water level rise in basin area due to ground water recharging : 1.0 to 8.0 meters Average rise : 4.0 m

  22. Improvement in water quality • Water samples collected from monitoring wells show the • following result • TDS (ppm) value reduced due to ground recharge from 190ppm to 6815 ppm • pH value reduced due to ground recharge from 0.11 to 1.21

  23. 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 11 September 2014 26

  25. CLUSTER - I VILLAGES Vandhay, Kurbai, Ajapar,Vadasar, Viganiya, Sarli, Samatra, Deaslpar, Nabhoi, BidadaPadar and Forest area

  26. CLUSTER - II VILLAGES Bheraiya, Ludva, Jamathda, Vekra, Rampara, Dahinsra and Dhunai

  27. CLUSTER - III VILLAGES Darsadi, Momay Mora, Vandh Kojachora, Punadi

  28. CLUSTER - IV VILLAGES BhadaiMoti, Dhokada, Don, Goniyasar nana, GoniyasarMota, AsambiyaMota, Asambiya Nana, Koday/Madanpura, Jakhaniya, Talvana

  29. CLUSTER - V VILLAGES Durgapar, Vada, Bharapar, Mandvi Rayannani, RayanMoti, Nagalpar, Maska

  30. Common activities Awareness generation Capacity building of stakeholders through training, workshop, seminar and exposure visits SHG group formation and micro enterprises Prosumer societies Joint forest management activities wherever forest area is existed CBO formation Agro- industrial complex

  31. MANAGEMENT PHASE • As per our experience involvement of community from planning to operation and management of common asset is essential • We are in process of development of Self sustainable river management institution that have two units such as decision making unit and service providing unit. • Para engineer will be in basin level institute • After completion of the project, we will act as a facilitator and provide guidance to basin level institute

  32. Positive impact on climate change • Natural resource management • Soil moisture conservation • Soil reclamation • Water harvesting and it’s management Restored fresh water eco-system Increased soil fertility Increased crop productivity • Capacity of framers though trainings for.. • Balance cropping and biomass planning • Mixed farming with animal husbandry, • Dairy, Fishery poultry etc. Agri./Horticulture development and greenery in the basin • Solid and liquid waste management • Composting, recycling etc. More photosynthesis CO2 Fixation Reduction in METHANE generation

  33. 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. 11 September 2014 36
