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.

Rajasthan has always worked from centuries to store water.Always been a leader.
Very nice reporting. Congratulations and thank you for bringing such amazing videos for the viewers.
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.
बहुत बहुत धन्यवाद ऐसा हमारा मीडिया नही दिखाता आपका बहुत बहुत धन्यवाद 👍👍👍
ईश्वर करे आपका चैनल 10 मिलियन पर जाए 👍
Wonderful video. Thanks down to earth
I am rajasthani. I am proud on Rajasthan.
धन्यवाद राजस्थान के खनन अरावली का भी एक वीडियो बनाए
Nice to see Bharat's millennia-old expertise in managing monsoon water reestablishing itself.
Wonderful! Great to learn the real stories of rural India and the genius of local people in rainwater harvesting.
This is the kind of content that I look for on UA-cam. Keep bringing these stories to us. Inspiring!
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.
Nice to see Bharat's millennia-old expertise in managing monsoon water reestablishing itself.
Water is life so savings it the sensible thing to do. Great efforts by the villagers.in Rajasthan there are lots of places where they save &r restore the water for long time.
बढ़िया जानकारी|
Great video! Super content, information and cinematography. Thanks for this 🤗
This is really good, at least you guys had wonderful mansoon, down here in South we are struggling for drinking water.
Good story :)
Excellent job! Very good documentary.

Glad to see my place getting recognition 🌸🌸
एक बेहतरीन कार्य
ये एक आदर्श गांव की पहचान है
This method must be followed in areas of up, bihar , punjab and haryana because irrigation and population is very dense here...
Would be hard to make them stop fighting about religion first

Perfect case study to show the importance of water harvesting.
Great video!
India has always been a world leader in rainwater-harvesting and the best thing is that they do it using traditional techniques.
Good reliable tried-and-true methods.
Rajasthan water saver infra r save water with good ideas ,and d to e for this videos❤
All cities should have these rain water harvesting structures
Great work done by villagers and members of local administration.
Water conservstion is one of the most required work that need to be done on top priority basis.
Very informative and good initiative by the villagers to preserve Rain water.
Good presentation about Rajasthan.
Aaj ke samay jab sab jagah hum sunte hai ki climate change ho raha hai, global warming hai aur like environment change ho rha h jisse bahut saari problems create ho Rahi h aur future me bhi hogi....iss sab negative aur stressed environment jab kahi esa kuch dekhne ko milta hai toh acha feel hota h ki haa hum situation ko better kar sakte h aur humara future acha ho sakta.

Good to see that
Down to Earth, a responsible voice for engagement.
There's need to replicate these systems in rural Chhattisgarh. Wish it could be done.
Great news. Thanks for the video. I also learned that 'paani' is Hindi for water, hence the 'water cup' in Maharashtra

Hope, trans Indian two way slope channel will be made , throughout our motherland ,to irrigate every inchrs of our mother's land as well as to mitigate drinking water for all creatures of our mother's land .

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.

It's temporary.
wish us does something similar for the climate change, this show traditional method works. 2 bad us government want money every time someone try to revert to traditional method

When water is so precious and they are struggling with drinking water, they should stop washing clothes with soap in that water. They should also stop using pesticides and fertilisers in farm lands because that water runs off into ponds

NORTH INDIAN RIVERS ARE MOVING TO RAJASTHAN FOR DRINKING WATER PROBLEM SOLUTION.
