Discussion with IAS Subodh Agarwal: Digital Revolution in Rajasthan’s Water Distribution
A 2023 report by Water, Environment, Land, and Livelihoods (WELL) Labs revealed that 70-80% of farmers in India depend on groundwater for irrigation. With climate change causing more frequent droughts and floods, farmers face growing challenges. This makes the need for sustainable water management solutions more urgent than ever.
Indian farmers are under increasing pressure, but there’s hope in the form of digital water distribution systems. These innovative systems could be a game-changer for water management.
IAS Subodh Agarwal explains, “While solving these problems requires efforts on many levels, the digital water distribution system is a big step forward for agriculture. It ensures water reaches farmers at specific times, making farming more predictable and reliable.”
