“Bhungroo is an innovative water management technology that helps smallholder farmers store excess rainwater underground during monsoons and reuse it during dry spells. It is a sustainable solution designed to address water scarcity and improve agricultural productivity.”
“Bhungroo channels excess rainwater from flooded fields into underground reservoirs. This stored water is then retrieved during dry periods using simple and cost-effective methods, ensuring year-round water availability for irrigation.”
“Bhungroo is especially beneficial for small and marginal farmers, women farmers, and those in arid or semi-arid regions prone to waterlogging and drought. Wealthier farmers can also adopt the technology to improve their water management practices.”
“Prevents waterlogging and soil degradation. Provides a reliable water source during droughts. Improves crop yields and reduces farming risks. Empowers women farmers through training and capacity-building. Supports sustainable agriculture and climate resilience.”
