How did Rajasthan harvest rainwater after 2023 early monsoon? | Climate Opportunity

  • This is the story of western Rajasthan. The monsoon that arrived in Rajasthan in 2023 put an end to the drought that had been going on for years in Rajasthan to some extent. Normally there is 218 mm rainfall here but in 2023 there was 588.9 mm rainfall, i.e. more than two and a half times. In such a situation, the local people used all the traditional methods of rainwater harvesting, and the result is that in many villages drinking water became available for one to one and a half years, while in many villages water was also available for other crops in the year. Favorable circumstances arose.
    The districts of western Rajasthan generally experience drought. But this time the rains of May and June broke the records of the last hundred years of these districts. And the villagers turned this havoc of rain into an opportunity instead of a disaster.
    Generally, after so much rain, a scene of flood is created in the plains, but in the desert, as soon as the water falls, the dry land absorbs it. Same thing would have happened in this situation also but the people of these villages living in the Aravalli hills diverted this water towards traditionally built ponds, nadis and beri.
    Generally, at least six types of water harvesting sources are constructed in western Rajasthan to harvest rain water. Like Ota, Bairi, Diggi, Nadi, Field Pond, Anicut, Tanka etc. The structure of Anicut is quite interesting. In this area, ponds are made in several levels to stop the water coming from the hills. This is called anicut. There are total 4 Anicuts in Bar village of Beawar district. Due to excessive rainfall, for the first time, 3 anicuts have been completely filled, while water is coming slowly in the fourth one. The water capacity of one anicut is 0.5 crore litres. As a result of accumulation of water in the anicut, 1,345 wells built in the fields of the village have been recharged. 45 feet of water has come in 60 feet deep wells.
    While due to this water, the problems of farming and drinking water have been relieved for some time, women living in rural areas have also got relief to some extent. Migration also stopped in some villages of the district because work was available in the village itself and there was a possibility of better income.
    Experts say that a major reason for monsoon winds not stopping in Rajasthan is the tampering with the Aravalli hills. At present, a total of 12 katans (gaps) have emerged in Aravali. These cuts are not just one or two kilometers long but 10 to 12 kilometers long. These erosions have created unfavorable conditions for rain. But according to the Meteorological Department, in 2023, Rajasthan received such heavy rainfall due to prolonged western disturbances and anti-cyclonic circulation.

    Now this is the amazing journlism i subscribed this channel for. I hope villages can implement such techniques and get their ground water levels recharged.
    Further, this reminds me of the Paani foundation work in Maharashtra. Both incredibly useful and amazing.

    The "gaps" Being created by anthropogenic reasons in the Aravali range, which are 10-12 km wide, are tampering with monsoon winds. This is a major leading factor for monsoon winds not being stopped in Rajasthan. This is something we need to do collectively. Thanks a lot to DTE for such a piece of information.

    Only those who do not have rain knows the value of the water ... see the karnataka and Tamilnadu they are fighting for kauvery ... but nobody is talking about saving the rainwater from the other part of the states to solve this problem.

    How did they build these structures should be reported too. That will make greater story. How did they get money, resources, manpower, coordination, etc, how did they execute it, would be amazing to hear. I can't imagine from where we come from people making anything together for common good.

    Anicut. The term came from ANAIKATTU in tamil. The concept was introduced by karikala chozhan 2000 years ago. He built the grand anaicut(KALLANAI) which is full of solid rocks. It stands still even today across the river cauvery in Tanjavur district, Tamilnadu.
