The cycle of water budgeting

  • The scale or unit for water budgeting is important;
         water budgeting should be calculated at village
         (administrative boundary) level
  • Water budgeting needs to be done twice in a year,
         pre monsoon (for kharif season) and post monsoon
         (for rabi and summer season)
  • Water budget is not a one-time process.
  • To ensure that, the people follow the collectively
         prepared plans, Gram Panchayat should make
         necessary rules through Gram Sabha regarding
         water-use and crop practices.
