Groundwater Management through Exhibition, ABY, Sustainable Agriculture, Water Conservation Community Engagement

This research paper delves into the critical issues of groundwater depletion in regions exemplified by Solapur, highlighting the challenges faced and proposing solutions through awareness initiatives, with a specific focus on the Atal Bhujal Yojana (ABY). The study employs a multi-faceted approach, incorporating literature reviews, case studies, and impact assessments to comprehensively address the complex issue of sustainable groundwater management. Groundwater level depletion poses a substantial threat to agricultural practices, livelihoods, and environmental sustainability in drought prone regions of Solapur. Adverse conditions, over-extraction, and traditional farming practices contribute to the challenge, necessitating strategic interventions for sustainable water management. The research employs a combination of literature reviews and case studies to understand groundwater depletion, the significance of ABY, and the impact of awareness initiatives. An exhibition serves as a focal point for information dissemination, integrating banners, standees, models, and interactive elements to engage a diverse audience and communicate the objectives and strategies of ABY. The research reveals the success of ABY interventions through compelling case studies. Farmers and communities have witnessed increased agricultural productivity, improved livelihoods, and community-led initiatives addressing groundwater recharge. The exhibition emerges as an effective tool for increasing awareness, with positive impacts observed in terms of improved knowledge retention and community engagement. This research underscores the importance of continued efforts in groundwater awareness and conservation. By leveraging targeted interventions, community participation, and innovative awareness strategies, the study advocates for a holistic approach to sustainable groundwater management. The results affirm the transformative potential of initiatives like ABY and highlight the need for ongoing collaboration, adaptability, and shared responsibility in addressing the challenges of groundwater depletion for the benefit of present and future generations.
