Rajesh Rajora - Storm Water Management And Its Advantages

Agriculture is the backbone of India’s economy and around 70% of the population is totally dependant on agriculture. The present agricultural scenario is a mix of outstanding achievements and missed opportunities. To become the economic power in the world, India needs to increase the agricultural productivity. The country needs to adopt new technologies and must perform some researches, to help farmers.

According to Dr. Rajesh Rajora, we need a new and effective technology which can improve continuously the productivity, profitability, sustainability of our major farming systems. He said, there is a compulsion, that we manage storm water well. Collected storm-water during rain is one of the issues for which a few homes are currently equipped with storm-water management system. Collected rain water is reused that would overall be dumped into the sewage system.

Storm-water is water that comes from rain and it is run off lawns, streets, and other sites. If it is stored and reused, it will be saved from wasting and can help us to produce crops and can also be used for other means. Nowadays, people are aware of managing storm water and use it in better ways.

The water runs quickly into storm channels, sewer systems and seepage dump and can bring destruction of habitat, downstream flooding, contaminated coastal water, rivers and streams, overflows of combined sewer, damage to infrastructure, stream bank erosion etc.

Dr. Rajesh Rajora has been instrumental in formulating, planning and executing watershed projects in a holistic manner. He has postulated watershed as a unit of development, rather than just a geo-hydrological unit, thereby evolving the ‘Jhabua model’ of Integrated Watershed Management.
