For Rajasthan government, coming up with newer techniques to ensure that the water issues never crop up, Barmer district in Jaiselmer is coming up with a unique solution.
Rajasthan Electronics and Instrumentation Ltd, the firm currently handling the project has been given the green signal to spend Rs 11.91 crore for the entire project. The project and the solar tube wells will be initially handled by a private firm for 5 years post which they will be handed over to the government who will take over their working.
The tube wells will help conserve water and will ensure that the region which faced acute water scarcity will not have access to water 24×7 and never face a dry day. What’s more, using the tube wells, the region will also have enough water supply for agriculture through irrigation opening up more avenues for farmers to expand their crops.
The project is expected to kick off from December post which the water woes of the citizens will end.
