Réservoir d’eau de pluie
This year, in addition to our efforts to increase water resources (such as water basins and plantation of fruit trees), we are introducing drip irrigation in the region. This technique, unknown by the villagers active in our projects, already proved its efficacy in many Indian regions. We have therefore built 4 water tanks linked to drip irrigation systems in order to improve water management.
The tanks, which can contain between 8000 and 10,000 L water are up to 4 m in height. This means the irrigation of the fields is done by gravity, an essential technique in villages that lack electricity. Moreover, an additional valve has been installed so that the families can profit from the water of the tank to wash or water their cattle easily, without having to go to seek it deep in the well.
En complémentarité de nos efforts pour augmenter les ressources en eau (bassins de rétention d’eau et plantation d’arbres), cette année, nous introduisons l’irrigation goutte à goutte dans la région. Cette technologie inconnue par les villageois de nos projets a déjà prouvé son efficacité dans de nombreuses régions de l’Inde. Nous avons construit 4 réservoirs d’eau reliés à des systèmes d’irrigation goutte à goutte pour améliorer l’usage de l’eau.
