Water Recourse Development
- CIEL will simultaneously inaugurate 3 small check dams under the project villages. These dams, constructed over the last month, are expected to help irrigate farm land for 2 villages.
- They are also meant to help increase the water availability in drought-prone areas of the Shirur block. The dams will increase groundwater availability and also prevent soil erosion.
- Farmers who are dependent on monsoon for agriculture would be able to grow other crops in the rabbi season. The additional moisture will help in increasing soil productivity
