Organisation / Department: 
PMKSY-2.0
Year of implementation: 
2023
Background: 

1) Placed in a waterway/ditch
2) Interrupts water flow & flatters gradients
3) Reduces water velocity
4) Low erosion & trap sediments

Objectives: 

1) To recharge ground water reserves
2) To increase the availability of water for agricultural purposes.
3) To controls the water velocity and reduces soil erosion.
4) To stored water improves soil moisture of the adjoining area
5) Improve land fertility allows percolation to recharge the aquifers.

Outcome: 

1) Increase in Ground water level.
2) Increase in irrigation area
3) Renovation of structures
4) Increase the availability of water for agricultural purposes.
5) Increase in agriculture production & income of farmers
6) Reduces soil erosion.

Innovation: 

water lift for irrigation purpose
