Interlinking of water harvesting structures through link water channels - A viable alternative at micro-level by Ambuja Cement Foundation

This report of Sir Ratan Tata Trust offers an account of the project by the Ambuja Cement Foundation, which has developed interlinking of water harvesting structures through link water channels as a viable option of water management at micro-level. The coastal areas of Gujarat especially the villages lying within 20-25 km from the seashore are suffering from the problem of salinity ingress. Most of the rivulets that drain this region like Goma and Somat are seasonal at best and their water does not last beyond monsoons. The other aquifers like ponds, which get water from these rivers, also dry up as early as October.

A decade of the Total Sanitation Campaign - Rapid assessment of processes and outcomes - A report by the Water and Sanitation Program (2011)

A decade of the Total Sanitation Campaign - Rapid assessment of processes and outcomes - A report by the Water and Sanitation Program (2011) The Water and Sanitation Program has analysed secondary data on the Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC) available on government websites and conducted primary analysis in 22 sample districts spread across 21 states. It is concluded that districts that have been able to implement the sanitation programme successfully have done so because they have religiously followed the protocols laid down in the TSC guidelines.

With the use of secondary and primary data the report has not only been able to give a macro view of the TSC but also has been able to go into the nitty-gritty of the campaign. There are case studies of districts and villages that have achieved open defecation free status.

Ingress of saline water in coastal aquifers of Junagadh – A report by CAREWATER

This study by Carewater INREM Foundation attempts to create a salinity ingress profile by means of geo-chemical analysis for the Junagadh coastal area for the pre-monsoon period of 2006. Salinity in coastal groundwater is a widespread problem and may be caused by individual or combined effects of inherent salinity, tidal effect, irrigation by saltwater and by seawater intrusion due to extensive pumping.Read More

Groundwater contamination and rural water treatment in Gujarat: A discussion paper by CAREWATER

This discussion paper by Carewater INREM Foundation deals with groundwater contamination and rural water treatment in Gujarat. The State is characterized by varied hydrogeology and vast areas are faced with typical groundwater quality problems like fluoride. Much of the coastal groundwater is saline while the alluvial tract is marked with inland salinity.Read More

Duel among duals - Popular science of basaltic hydrogeology in a village of Saurashtra - A paper by CAREWATER

The report by Carewater INREM Foundation deals with the duel between popular science used in decision making by farmers and the formal science of hydrogeology that is based on scientific data collection. These two parallel streams of knowledge exist together, sometimes complement, and at other times are at conflict. People’s knowledge on hydrology is not ‘dying’, but thriving and growing well, refreshed continually by interfaces with science. In hard rock areas, the high hydrogeologic variability makes observation as important as theory since it is localized, pervasive and relevant to the needs of people.Read More

Regional model for annual runoff estimation - A research report by National Institute of Hydrology

The report presents a seasonal rainfall-runoff model developed for the Saurashtra region as well as parts of Narmada river basin. The successful planning and implementation of water resources projects require reliable data on volumetric runoff. It is not feasible to have discharge stations in all the river basins of interest given resource constraints. Therefore, regional rainfall-runoff models are preferred. The utility of such models can be improved if rainfall-runoff models for different regions are developed using data specific to the regions.Read More

Social impact of high incidence of kidney stones - A study of coastal villages in Junagadh (Gujarat)

This study from the coastal villages of Junagadh, Gujarat by Carewater aims at estimating the prevalence of kidney stones in the region and understand its varied socioeconomic impacts in terms of expenses incurred in treatment, procuring good quality water and loss of wages due to inability to work. In Junagadh district of Saurashtra, intrusion of seawater has increased from 3 to 12 kms during the last three decades and more than 130 thousand hectares (about 15 percent) of the total area of Junagadh has been affected by salinity.Read More
