Pukaar's Watershed management & Land Restoration projects

Watershed Management & Regenerative Farming Project – Kathiwada, Madhya Pradesh (30 Acres)

Project Overview

Pukaar Eco Services implemented a holistic Watershed Management and Regenerative Agriculture Project on a 30-acre farmland in Kathiwada, Madhya Pradesh, aiming to revive soil health, enhance water security, and create a climate-resilient farm ecosystem.

The project aligns with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) — SDG 6 (Clean Water & Sanitation), SDG 13 (Climate Action), and SDG 15 (Life on Land).

Key Challenges:

  • Rapid water runoff and soil erosion causing land degradation.

  • Poor water retention due to absence of catchment systems.

  • Low organic matter and soil fertility impacting farm productivity.

Ecological Solutions Delivered:

  1. Watershed Mapping & Hydrology Analysis

  2. Swales, Farm Ponds & Recharge Structures

  3. Erosion Control & Soil Regeneration

    Upcoming Plan

  4. Agroforestry & Regenerative Farming Design

  5. Farmer Training & Community Involvement
