Region: Rajasthan, India
Rainwater harvesting: Rajasthan has a low average annual rainfall, but the state can still capture and store rainwater to supplement its water supply. The government and NGOs can promote the installation of rainwater harvesting systems in homes, schools, and other buildings to collect and store rainwater.
Modern irrigation techniques: Adopting modern irrigation techniques like drip and sprinkler irrigation can help reduce water consumption and improve crop yields. The state government can promote the use of these techniques in agriculture and horticulture.
Traditional water conservation methods: The state can promote traditional water conservation methods like building check dams, nadi bunds, and farm ponds to recharge groundwater and improve soil moisture retention.
Watershed development: Implementing watershed development projects can help to revive degraded land, increase water availability, and prevent soil erosion.
Groundwater regulation: The government can implement policies to regulate groundwater use, including a ban on new tube wells in certain areas and the introduction of a water conservation fee for industries that use groundwater.
Water reuse and recycling: Wastewater treatment plants can be set up to treat and recycle sewage water for non-potable uses like irrigation, washing, and cleaning.
Public awareness and education: Raising public awareness about the importance of water conservation and the need to adopt sustainable water practices is crucial to ensure the success of any water conservation initiative.
