Solution for drought, Rainwater Harvesting for Farmers - Varsha-Jal

KFP Rainwater Harvesting for Farmers

permanent solution for drought & water scarcity

we built Dams,
we made Canals,
we have FarmPonds, Bori Bandhs

Yet why do our crops go dry ?

Water Facts

Need of crops

The Solution

We get 100 lakh ltr/hectare of water directly in our fields through 100cm rainfall.

Whereas water needed for a farm is only 30 lakh ltr/hectare.

• Normally, only 30cm of water at field level is required for 2 Crops, whereas 300 cm of water is poured.

• Crops /plants do not intake water directly but they need moist soil to absorb water from it.

KFP does exactly this. It harvests rainwater
underground in form of soil moisture.

KFP harvests maximum rainwater and
percolates it in the ground/farm at a very high speed. Initially this rainwater is retained by soil (top 12 ft) in the form of moisture in the upward catchment area which is available to plant roots.
Once the field capacity of this zone is achieved (in 1-5 years), excess rainwater increases ground water table and simultaneously increases well water level.

Farmers can permanently get rid of drought & water scarcity.

Average rainfall & intensity of rains in an hour
Present water level of your well/ borewell before & after monsoon
Your present & future water requirement for different uses & present source & cost of water
What is your basic purpose of rainwater harvesting: to increase groundwater /want to enhance present water source, well, bore-well / water scarcity/ water logging/ You want to simply harvest rainwater to save environment /Any other reason

Benefits of underground water harvesting technique for farmers

KFP RWH Harvest upto 80% of the total rainfall so all the water falling in the farm is utilized.
No Evaporation & Run-off Losses as water is stored underground.
Stops Soil Erosion, water seeps into the ground at a very high speed, and therefore doesn't flow out of the field & precious soil is conserved.
Increases Crop Production - The moisture retained by the soil is 4 times more and therefore soil remains moist for longer period. Thus within 1-3 years farmers can take additional crop.
Increases Well Water, it can even revive dry wells.
Trees Survive the Drought Period as soil remains moist throughout the year.
Saves Irrigation Power as moisture is available to plant roots in top 12 ft soil.
Increases Soil Fertility and reduces the need of chemical fertilizers.
