Water is a precious natural resource, especially in areas severely hit by drought. Lack of water leads to non-remunerative farming. Ensuring its availability and proper use, is crucial to reforming the farming sector.

NAAM has undertaken the enormous task of water conservation across Maharashtra, by finding long-term remedies to mitigate the effects of drought. Using heavy machinery, we have carried out excavation and widening of existing rivers and nalas to improve their storage capacities. This indirectly increases the water levels underground, as well as those of wells in the commanding area.

These initiatives have also increased the capacity of the rivers and percolation, thereby recharging the groundwater table. The surrounding villages now have sufficient water for irrigation, throughout the year.
