"Ashapur, a village located in Sinnar taluka of Maharashtra, had been suffering from acute waterscarcity which severely affected cultivation, and fodder availability for the cattle. HCC, with the helpof Yuva Mitra, an NGO Based in Sinnar, rejuvenated the diversion based irrigation system which hadbecome defunct due to siltation. This initiative helped to enhance the ground water table andrejuvenate the wells (more than 60 across 135 hectares of farms). This year it helped conserve morethan 390 million litres through percolation and irrigation. Thus HCC has maintained water positivestatus (by way of offsetting) with water index > 1.This initiative was beneficial for the farmers to extend cultivation seasons and to expand their rangeof crops. The rejuvenation of canal at Ashapur village proved to be a good example of socio-economicimprovement."
