Project details :-
The proposed project entails the following broad objectives:
* Rejuvenating selected beels which are presently completely dry and doesn’t hold any water, which includes de-siltation of the beel to increase the depth and thus the augment the water holding capacity of the beel.This will help in reducing the intensities of flood as well as provide options for managing and tackling drought conditions under a possible climate change scenario.
* Increase in livelihood options for vulnerable communities living with the vicinity of Kaziranga National Park through organic farming and pond based fisheries. Organic farming increases the climate resilience potential of agricultural sector by banking on integrated crop management techniques, which include time-tested indigenous technological know-how of the farming communities, increased capacity of the soils to hold more moisture, more nutrients and drain better, thereby increasing the potential of organically replenished soils to adapt better in climate extremes like drought, vagaries of rainfall, floods etc. Further, being a more diverse system of cropping, with focus on local crops/varieties, organic agriculture provides better option for climate contingent farming 14. Similarly, fishery is an activity that can provide two benefits simultaneously-direct livelihood option as well as facilitating water regime rejuvenation in the nearby areas, thus making cropping practices more resilient to water stresses that may occur from climate catastrophes.
* Management of watersheds through check dams and ponds to restore and maintain hydrological balance of the ecosystem, to build its resilience towards climate change affects.
