Water harvesting in coastal areas
conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:08 authored by K.C.B. Raju, Lyes FerroukhiExperiences from arid and semi-arid areas in the field of coastal aquifer management where water harvesting and
artificial recharge strategies are adopted, are rare and scarcity of data is a commonly encountered problem.
However an increased awareness of its potential applicability is taking place and is increasingly being recommended
(Rushton and Phadtare, 1989; Goldenberg and Melloul, 1994; Khair et al, 1994). Therefore, there is today a growing need for acquiring knowledge about systems
capable of making use of ephemeral runoff waters and river base flows. These systems should require low inputs
once established and no sources of energy for their functioning. They should also present the possibilities to be applied at village levels and implemented and managed by local peoples (Raju, 1992). The paper introduces the
case of Moti Rayan village in southern Kachchh district in the state of Gujarat, India.
