Andhra Pradesh Farmer Managed Groundwater Systems Project
22 November 2011, Miryalaguda, India - A farmer and beneficiary of the Groundwater Systems Project and the Participatory Hydrological Monitoring (PHM) showing a handful of harvested cotton. The PHM portion of the project has been a strategy adopted to transform individual groundwater users to water resource literates. Based on the knowledge, the farmers have started appreciating the causes leading to groundwater level changes, rainfall-recharge relationship, pumping capacity of bore wells and water requirements for different types of crops. Cotton is grown during a season of low rainfall as it requires much less water than, for example, rice.
