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.

Development Support Center (DSC) is a resource organization that provides knowledge- based support to Non-Government Organizations (NGOs), Corporate Houses (CSRs), Government Agencies, Community Based Organizations and other stakeholders in the field of Participatory Natural Resource Management (PNRM) and sustainable livelihoods. DSC provides a variety of services through multi-disciplinary team of professionals that directly implements projects, helps in capacity building of key functionaries, carries out field studies and takes initiatives for research and appropriate policy changes.
