Community based water budgeting & water security management
Principal Investigator
Prof. Chaitanya Sudha
Objective
- Enable communities to assess seasonal water availability and demand, monitor groundwater, and use digital water budgets to guide sustainable farming and village water management.
Description
- The proposed framework combines hydrological assessment, groundwater investigations, socio-economic analysis, climate variability assessment, and digital technologies to enable continuous monitoring and evidence-based water management at the village level. Water budgeting follows a season by season, village level approach that combines field data, mapping and monitoring to understand how much water a village has, how much it uses and the gaps.
