Water Security Planning by the Development Support Centre
About the Solution
This solution by the Development Support Centre (DSC) focuses on bridging the gap between water supply and demand through strategic planning. By introducing measures such as crop diversification, mulching, and micro-irrigation, communities are guided to optimize water use. This step ensures that groundwater extraction is controlled and water is distributed more equitably.
