The project employs a '4-R' approach (Reuse, Recharge, Recycle, and Reduce) to manage water resources, featuring the installation of 2,500 rooftop Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) systems and 40 pond-based recharge wells to replenish groundwater. It also includes the re-excavation of 300 ponds and 140 km of canals to improve surface water storage. To enhance livelihoods, the project promotes drought-adaptive cropping patterns and fruit varieties for 15,000 farmers, aiming to reduce irrigation water needs by 70%.
