National Initiative on Climate Resilient
Agriculture has given an opportunity to
several KVKs to demonstrate climate
resilient agricultural practices in the
context of the challenges faced by
vulnerable communities due to climate
variability. The project has also provided
a platform for vulnerable communities
to address crucial climate related issues
often encountered by them. Although
the project prescribes modular approach
to address climate variability challenges,
there is enough scope for development of
interventions and their implementation
at grassroots level. This has infused new
enthusiasm among the communities as
it is promoting several initiatives that
are helping to build the community
capacity. Thus, the KVKs are able to
harness the latent energy present in the
community by awareness building and
facilitation. These processes are also
significant in bringing lasting changes
within the communities since they are
imparting a sense of ownership among
the members of the communityIn this publication, we bring out a story
of successful community participation
in identifying, acting and sustaining the
outcome of a unique intervention. The
focus here is not on the technology but
on how a community was enabled to
adopt a practice that would eventually
make them free of water scarcity both
for human and livestock consumption
and agriculture. The story also narrates
the cascading effects of the success
and prosperity the collective efforts of
the community have brought along.
It was indeed a valuable learning
experience for all those who were
associated with implementation of
interventions, monitoring of progress
and documentation of overall outcome.
Although this is a very simple
intervention, it has the potential to
bring several changes both in material
prosperity and mindsets. We wish that
this publication spreads the simple idea
of harvesting runoff in seasonal streams
by laying across low cost check dams
and making vulnerable communities a
little more resilient to the impending
risks of climate variability.
