Burning Issues of Current Decade

• Global warming rise in temperature
• Changes in rain fall pattern causing flood,
  draught and increased risk in farming
• Poor small farmers are becoming more vulnerable
• Soil fertility is reducing
• Ground water levels are reducing dangerously
• Sea levels are rising
• Inflation due to rise in food prices
• Serious health issues
• Development has become economy centered on GDP
  base, resulting in non-inclusive growth
• Social ecological values are not considered in
  development

9
Mission For The Current Decade
To Contribute in reduction of CO2 levels in
the atmosphere from 380 ppm to 280 ppm Through
Photosynthesis for the betterment of all living
beings survival of our mother earth. Save
the Earth, There is no Planet B Save the
Earth By Promoting Photosynthesis
10
PHOTOSYNTHESIS

• Soil

11
Solutions Can Come From

• Biomass productions crops, grasses and trees
• Appropriate land and water management by millions
  of farmers especially small and marginal farmers
• Even Urban agriculture
• The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
  Change(IPCC) has estimated the global technical
  mitigation potential for agriculture at 5.5 to 6
  Gt of CO2-equivalent per year by 2030. Most of
  this total (89 per cent) can come from carbon
  sequestration in soils, storing carbon as soil
  organic matter (humus)

12
River Basin

• The Integrated River Basin Management can be
  defined as a "process of coordinating
  conservation, management and development of
  water, land and related resources across sectors
  within a given river basin, in order to maximise
  the economic and social benefits derived from
  water resources in an equitable manner while
  preserving and, where necessary, restoring
  freshwater ecosystems."
• An integrated approach using the whole River
  Basin as a basis for holistic sustainable
  planning, can provide a good solution to ensure
  Economic, Social and Environmental sustainability.

18
Approach Decentralized Participatory

• Fourth Phase
• Cluster planning
• Communicating Information
• P.R.A.
• Group Discussion
• Workshop

• Third Phase
• Analysis of consolidated information
• Maps
• Geological formation
• Water resources
• Landuse
• Geographic characters (slope)
• RWL
• Tables
• Water
• Food
• Milk
• Fodder
• Dividing basin in 5 clusters for planning

• First Phase
• Para worker Training of local youth
• Consolidation of available information -
• Rainfall
• Water resources
• Demography
• Landuse
• Other

• Second Phase
• Survey
• Water resources
• Socio economic
• Food consumption
• Crop production and farm management
• Animal Husbandry
• Observation
• Pre monsoon and post monsoon water quality and
  water table data

19
Major problems

• Due to over exploitation of ground water, Mandvi
  block is declared as dark zone
• Ground water quality is degraded i.e. TDS - 3000
  to 10000 ppm
• High Fluoride content in drinking water
• Degradation of agricultural land and reduced
  productivity
• Soil erosion in basin area due to mining
  activity
• Due to unequal allocation of resources like
  water and land, difference in socio economic
  condition

Mahajan - Cluster Committee

• In workshop, a cluster level committee is formed
  having representation of each village 4 members
  ( 2 men 2 women)

32

• During the planning phase, enthused by the
  project, the chairman of the Sardar Patel
  Sahbhagi Jal Sanchay Yojna had sanctioned 51
  check dams in basin area.

RIVER BASIN DPR

• The DPR is submitted to Rural Development
  department of Government of Gujarat.
• The another proposal is submitted to Irrigation
  department for desilting of current water
  harvesting structures 157 structures. This will
  benefit 1660 hectares of agricultural land
• With forest department planning is under process
  to manage Prosopis in pasture land

38
Specific Activities planned

• Prosumer societies
• Agro- industrial complex

39
Agro Industrial Complex

• If the River basin is seen from the perspective
  of an Agro-Industrial Complex with responsible
  use of natural assets resources, for providing
  renewable resources as Raw Materials, to which
  value addition is done by appropriate processes
  technologies, it can lead to the objectives
  narrated above

40
Agro-industrial complex
Natural resource management Soil, Water,
Vegetation etc.
Inputs management Seeds, Nutrients, pests
etc.
R D To continuously assess
the opportunity, Solve problems provide
services
Capacity building though Education, Training,
Skill- development on job training
Services to farmers and other
community Climate weather information,
Banking credit supply, Trade in inputs
output, Storage and transport Infrastructure,
Value addition related knowledge Processing
expertise, market linkages

• This will create interdependence of agri. and
  industries
• The raw material will be basically renewable in
  nature
• The wealth created by both Agri. And Industrial
  activities will remain with the population
• of the basin area

41
IMPLEMENTATION PHASE

• Activities as per strategy will be carried out
  through linkages with Govt. departments and other
  funding agencies
• Irrigation department
• MNREGS
• Forest Department (JFM)
• Agriculture Department
• Groups formed during planning phase are involved
  in each stage of implementation

42
MANAGEMENT PHASE

• As per our experience involvement of community
  from planning to operation and management of
  common asset is essential
• We are in process of development of Self
  sustainable river management institution that
  have two units such as decision making unit and
  service providing unit.
• Para engineer will be in basin level institute
• After completion of the project, we will act as a
  facilitator and provide guidance to basin level
  institute

Positive impact on climate change

• Natural resource management
• Soil moisture conservation
• Soil reclamation
• Water harvesting and its management

Restored fresh water eco-system Increased soil
fertility Increased crop productivity

• Capacity of framers though trainings for..
• Balance cropping and biomass planning
• Mixed farming with animal husbandry,
• Dairy, Fishery poultry etc.

Agri./Horticulture development and greenery in
the basin

• Solid and liquid waste management
• Composting, recycling etc.

More photosynthesis
CO2 Fixation
Reduction in METHANE generation
45
National Action Plan for Climate Change

• National Water Mission
• to ensure integrated water resource management
  helping to conserve water, minimize wastage
• recharging of underground water sources and
  adoption of large scale irrigation programmes
  which rely on sprinklers, drip irrigation and
  ridge and furrow irrigation.
• National Mission for a Green India
• The Mission on Green India will be taken up on
  degraded forest land through direct action by
  communities, organized through Joint Forest
  Management
• National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture
• improving productivity of rainfed agriculture

46

• The main expectation from this project is to
  demonstrate successful model of river basin
  management that can be replicated
• Each cluster of the basin will be self reliant on
  their drinking water, food ,fodder and fuel
  requirement
• Improvement of water quality as per drinking and
  irrigation norms
• Green cover on the land will be restored
• Finally contribute to improve GDP of the basin
  area, improve happiness index Human Development
  Index of this basin area.
