Story of the Week ′′ From severe water shortage to having enough water for 3 sowing seasons " The well and borewell of Subhashrao Bakhle of Kumbhari village in Jalna district will dry up in January. Water was not available. Last year, in a water campaign implemented by Savitribai Phule Mandal and Praj Foundation, Subhashrao's Shetanik lake was removed; the leak was stopped by cut-off trenching with plastic lining. As a result, groundwater level increased through that pond. Subhashrao's borewell was flowing full and his well has enough water for the crops even after January. Subhashrao has harvested wheat, planted onions and also increased fruit garden on the dependence of this water! Story of the Week ′′ From severe water shortage to having enough water for 3 sowing seasons " जालना जिल्ह्यातील कुंभारी गावच्या सुभाषराव बखलेंची विहीर व बोअरवेल जानेवारीतच कोरडे पडायच्या. पाणी उपलब्ध नव्हतं. गेल्या वर्षी सावित्रीबाई फुले मंडळ आणि प्राज फाऊंडेशनने राबवलेल्या जल अभियानात सुभाषरावांच्या शेतानजिकच्या तलावातील गाळ काढला; प्लॅस्टिक लायनिंगसह कट-आॅफ ट्रेंच करून गळती थांबवली. परिणामी त्या तळ्याद्वारे भूजलस्तर वाढला. सुभाषरावांचा बोअरवेल भरभरून वाहत होता आणि त्यांच्या विहिरीला जानेवारीनंतरही पिकांना पुरेल इतकं पाणी आहे. या पाण्याच्या भरवशावर सुभाषरावांनी यंदा गव्हाचे पीक घेतलंय, कांदा लावलाय आणि फळबाग देखील वाढवलीय!
