Robust arid region horticulture in the water-scarce arid region of Kachchh, but without improved value-addition for increased shelf-life, farmers faced with a crisis.

Kachchh: A desert oasis under peril

The westernmost district of India, Kachchh was long known as the arid deserted region and seldom received mention for any important economic activities. But, with the earthquake in 2001 that brought in new development policies and interventions, the region witnessed a three-fold increase in the value of production at constant prices since 2001.

Hello,

My irrigation water (bore well water) has a TDS of 3000 ppm. I want to reduce it to 800 ppm to 1200 ppm to get good yield from my plants. Should I go for RO or are there other economical means of reducing TDS? Please suggest.

Hi,

I am residing near Bhuj-Kutch. The bore water in my agriculture farm tastes slightly saline. The TDS test shows about 3100 ppm. Can adding a little alum and precipitating the dissolved salts help me in using the water for agriculture or getting an RO system is the only solution?
