Impact:

Water Check Dam Project in Jawahar

Under This project lakers adopted two streams of water in Jawahar district. Lakers built series of check dams namely 12 in numbers on this stream. The water collected here will be used for drinking water for live stock ,irrigation and some of it is also been treated through filtration units. this filter water will be then supplied to the Anganwadis ( Nursery Schools) and homes for the villages.

By building of check dams all the people living in villages around this stream will have access to clean and fresh drinking water, this will reduce water borne diseases and eventually affect the mortality rate of the people in this area.

Traditionally here the villagers were only dependant on the rainfall for growing theri crops , after the monsoon they used to migrate to cities for livelihood. From now on they be able to grow an addition crop and improve their life style by staying back in the villages.

This project is funded by the TRF(The Rotary International Fund) and a Japanese club as partner club for a total cost of $71,000 dollars.
