The Bhungroo Water Management is a system as a tool to solve the flooding challenges during the rainy season and as a result, to enable access to water for irrigation during dry seasons. The Bhungroo technology can solve the water challenge, both the floods and the dry time, for regional scale of districts & counties
Drought is a serious issue in the western Indian state of Gujarat, particularly for underprivileged female farmers whose livelihood depends on the monsoon. Limited rainfall in the state leads to water logging in peak cropping season. For the rest of the year, farmers experience severe water scarcity, but thanks to a life-changing technology, poor farmers are now converting crisis into opportunities.
How Bhungroo technology works:
Bhungroo is a water management system that injects and stores excess rainfall/flooding water underground. During dry spells the water is lifted out for use in dry season agriculture.
WFA, through its partner Naireeta Services, an Indian social enterprise, trains and empowers women to run and monitor Bhungroo sites . By curtailing desertification, the initiative helps women build resilience to climate change.
ML Advisory, an Israeli consulting entity, provides women groups of the implemented women empowerment initiatives, with agronomic know how about dry season agriculture, tapping into the wealth resource of African Women, graduates of the Mashav program for hands on, agriculture training.
WFA training task force, African women based, deploys at the initiative location and trains women groups accordingly, in implementing:
- Affordable Irrigation with simple tools
- Rain water harvesting and effective use of the water
- Dry storage of cereals using hermetic bags
- Beekeeping technology
WFA trains women groups in generating group financial resources for development, through smart management of staple crops production - to conserve most of the production at harvest time through drying and storing in hermetic bags, selling the dried produce 4-6 months later, when staple price peaks for double or triple the price at harvest time
