Journal of ManagementSummary: Revival of Sasur Khaderi-2 rivulet and its origin Thithora Lake initiative was implemented in a district in Uttar Pradesh that reported groundwater status in a large number of blocks under critical and semi-critical conditions. The initiative was successfully completed in 45 days prior to the onset of the SW monsoon. The engineering, planning, and governance strategies adopted by the district collector along with the favourable monsoon, resulted in positive impacts on groundwater levels and agriculture yields in surrounding villages. Groundwater levels increased between 16 and 60% in various piezometric locations in the villages surrounding the initiative during pre and point initiative time periods. Similarly, crop yields of paddy and wheat increased between 15 and 60% compared to pre and post initiative time periods. Overall, the initiative has provided several important insights into water conservation strategies and governance mechanisms for water conservation in the country. - Reproduced.
