Participatory groundwater management : making the invisible resource visible and giving ownership of its sustainability to villagers

Western Sydney University

Research output: Chapter in Book / Conference Paper › Chapter

Abstract

The MARVI project, 'Managing aquifer recharge and sustaining groundwater use through village-level intervention' (LWR/2010/015), is about a villagelevel participatory approach to measuring groundwater levels and improving groundwater productivity. The overall aim of the MARVI project was to improve cooperative decision-making for sustainable groundwater use. It focused on two multi-village watersheds: the Meghraj watershed in Aravali district of Gujarat, India, and the Dharta watershed in Udaipur district of Rajasthan, India. Both watersheds have hardrock aquifers.
