Case Studies
Case Study-I
Gram Panchyat – Ujla ,Block Sankra ,District Jaisalmer
In Gram Panchyat Ujla there was a big problem of water because water supply was from Kalau village in Jodhpur District which is approx 40 km from the GP therefore at times the supply was not regular because of the long distance transportation causing damage or leakage of line . In the year 2012 when major part of the Nadis were also encroached by the villagers, the problem was further aggravated due to encroachment. The Sarpach of the GP Mr Aavar Dan arranged excavation of the Nadi and extension of the Agor as well as encroachment free. The Monsoon rains during July-August 2012 filled the Talab which lasted for up-to June 2013, this excavation work was done with the participants of the villagers. Due to the excavation /repair of the Pond the water remained in the Pond for almost a year. This activity encouraged the villagers and Sarpanchs of the neibouring GPs to take interest in harvesting rain water by excavation work /repair of Ponds in their areas.
