Marathwada village comes up with a novel idea to tackle water scarcity—water budget for each household. The result is for everyone to see.

Till about a year ago, 52-year-old Kisan Jite would often wake up to his wife Sarla and other village women squabbling over who would fill their buckets first from the only well in Golegaon village. This fight would then proceed to the three water tankers allotted by the zilla parishad for the entire village with a population of 2750 people. Some days, Jite himself would queue up behind the tankers.

Pophala, a village that was dry land farming in Aurangabad, channeled the rainwater it harvested by way of trenches. The drinking water wells are now full and their crop variety has increased.

Pophala is a dry land farming village with 73 families that cultivate 290 acres. The people would spend as many as 5 hours to go to another village and get water. In the year 2013, the Gram Sabha in Pophala village, decided on something unique. They decided to figure out a way to get and keep water in their village so as to not be dependent on anyone else.

We have a borewell of 260 ft. Last summer it nearly dried up, so we blasted the borewell. Three blasting were done at 100 ft & 190 ft after which the water level increased. Now after the rainy season, we are facing the issue of choked motor and muddy water. Three times we got our motor serviced and have cut the pipe from bottom at 100 ft. Now our bore suction pipe is only 150 ft deep in bore. Our bore well has water at 5 - 8 ft only and can be seen from naked eyes. What can we do to overcome this problem? Can we drill a new bore just adjacent to this?
