Project-I
The first project was completed in 2004. In which a perennial stream was tapped and the water is channelized through a three inch PVC pipe of 2700 feet length. Locally available traditional knowledge of channelizing water from high point to low available agriculture fields with help of gravitational force was utilized. PVC pipe was used to avoid losses due to percolation and evaporation.
Villagers contributed in cash, free labor and grains. The total contribution of villagers for the project was 50% to project cost. 11 acres of waste land came under perennial irrigation benefitting forty families. Villagers recovered their money in first 3 months
Project-II
After the success of first project, the second project was planned on the same principles and got completed in 2006. 9500 feet PVC pipeline of 4 inch diameter was laid to carry water from perennial stream. It’s a unique project where villagers’ hard work and their strong desire were challenged by natural terrain. The pipe is laid through streams, valleys and very uneven land. Villagers contributed in cash, free labor and grains. 39 acres of land came under perennial irrigation.
