MOTHER

For existence of all living beings, natural resources are essential. Soil and water are the two fundamental natural resources for the terrestrial life. For a majority of rural people, agriculture is a way of life. Soil and water are the important resources for agriculture. It is important to control the erosion of surface soil and increase its fertility. In case of water utilization in agriculture, there are two types of irrigation – surface irrigation and ground water irrigation. Management of water resources is very important in surface irrigation. Water body management and effective rain water conservation should be there. Hence the MOTHER is focused on soil and water conservation, water management programs since 2002.
