A turning point - Water saving technologies in North Gujarat’s groundwater socio-ecology – A report by CAREWATER

This study by Carewater INREM Foundation looks at water saving technologies such as micro-irrigation through drip and sprinkler irrigation in North Gujarat and the changes that its introduction has brought about in the rural society. The study analyses the changes in farming system and socio-economic impacts at the household level through “before-and-after” (longitudinal) comparison of adopters and “with-or-without” (cross sectional) comparison between adopters and non-adopters.Read More

Reverse osmosis plants for rural water treatment in Gujarat - A research paper by CAREWATER

This research paper attempts to understand and map the Reverse Osmosis (RO) phenomenon, a technology that is turning out to be an important solution for drinking water treatment in rural Gujarat. Treatment plants with capacity ranging from 10 litres per hour (lph) to 6000 lph are now supplying drinking water in several hundred villages of the state. Small sized plants with capacity < 20 lph are used by individual families whereas medium to large sized plants (>100 lph) are being used for public consumption.Read More

Fluoride-free drinking water supply in North Gujarat - The rise of reverse osmosis plants as a cottage industry

This study by Carewater focuses on the large number of ‘cottage’ type Reverse Osmosis (RO) plants that came to be marketed for supplying good and safe water to the consumers under ‘packed drinking water’ category, and a big market for which emerged in North Gujarat. For the purposes of this study, ‘fluoride-free water’ means treated water containing prescribed quantity of fluoride and not completely ‘fluoride-free’. The objective was to study these plants, its clientele and to estimate the future of this ‘sunrise’ industry.Read More
