OUR TASK
Under the project , aiming at integrated water management at the cascade systems level, in association with selected cascade systems, improvement of tanks and anicuts and conservation of watershed areas for their long-term sustainability and restoration of tank environment and ecological system while enhancing of ground water level by restoration of small tanks, are being implemented as the focal mission of this Project.
In reaching this main objective, in addition to enhancing water management through improving the cascade system through fulfilling the drinking water needs of people in the area, training the community to adopt climate smart agriculture to save the water resource, developing operational and maintenance methods for tank anicuts that can beresilient to climate change, disaster preparedness and creating awareness among people on risk reduction, there are numerous other activities that are being fulfilled by this project as value additions to the focal mission of the Project.

TARGETING BENEFICIARIES:
Within selected cascades the Project will target households meeting the vulnerability criteria (one or more) for specific investments on climate smart agriculture, rainwater harvesting, community water supply programmes and flood early warning dvisories, including:
Women headed households
Young unemployed women in target villages
Households with disability or kidney disease
Conflict displaced/resettled

Families with children/women displaying low nutrition (underweight/ anemic)
Households with at-risk subgroups such as children and girls (children charged with householdsduties, neglected children not attending school, girls at risk)
THE PROJECT STRATEGY
The key objective of this Project is to strengthen the resilience of smallholder farmers in the Dry Zone to climate variability and extreme events through an integrated approach to water management. This will be achieved through three outputs that build upon previous experience and best practice:
VIS Rehabilitation
Upgrading village irrigation systems and promoting climate resilient farming practices in three river basins of the Dry Zoon: USD 21.04(SLR3, 113Million)
