Water Resource Projects
Checkdams, ponds, percolation tanks, and overhead storage in water-stressed areas
Overview
Construction of water harvesting and storage structures including checkdams, ponds, percolation tanks, and overhead water tanks to improve water availability in water-stressed rural areas.
Why This Matters
- 01
Water scarcity in the Bundelkhand and central MP belt directly reduces agricultural yields and forces seasonal migration.
- 02
Farm ponds and percolation tanks recharge groundwater during monsoon, stabilising water table for post-monsoon irrigation.
- 03
Checkdams on seasonal streams convert episodic flood flows into storable water - extending effective availability by 3-4 months.
- 04
Overhead tanks and community water supply structures are basic civic infrastructure under Jal Jeevan Mission.
- 05
Every 100 farm ponds constructed can benefit 250-400 farming families through improved kharif and rabi irrigation.
