HOW TO SUPPORT

Micro-Watershed Development
Micro-watershed development is a proven approach to sustainable rural development, focusing on in-situ soil and water conservation to reduce erosion and enhance land fertility. When combined with agriculture-based livelihood programs and community-driven initiatives, it strengthens water availability & boosts agricultural productivity.
Water Resources
Benefits
Economic Growth

Increased Vegetation
and Afforestation

Improved green cover enhances biodiversity, restores ecological balance, and contributes to a healthier environment.

Economic Growth

Healthier
Livestock

Provides better access to water and fodder, leading to improved animal health and increased milk yields.

Economic Growth

Enhanced Land
Productivity

Reduces soil erosion, improves soil fertility, and increases agricultural yields, ensuring better crop output and food security.

Economic Growth

Improved Water
Availability

Enhances groundwater recharge, maintains surface water levels, and ensures a reliable water supply for irrigation and daily needs.

Ponds and Percolation Tanks
Ponds and percolation tanks are vital water harvesting structures that enhance surface water storage and recharge groundwater. By replenishing groundwater levels, they ensure year-round access to water for farmers, improving irrigation, reducing dependency on erratic rainfall, and fostering more sustainable agricultural practices.
Water Harvesting
Soil and Moisture Convservation
Soil and moisture conservation is a critical component of sustainable agriculture, directly impacting soil fertility, crop productivity, and long-term ecological balance. With the support of NM Sadguru Foundation, farmers adopt proven conservation practices such as contour bunding, trenching, check dams, and farm ponds to retain rainwater and reduce surface runoff.
