Save when water is plenty
Capture suitable rainwater and excess runoff in properly designed ponds or tanks instead of allowing every drop to go unused.
Agrisave Water Bank helps farming communities collect and store rainwater and excess water, so they can use it when the weather turns hot and crops need it most.
Just as a bank helps people save money for a future need, Agrisave encourages farmers to store water during wet periods and keep it available for times when rainfall is scarce.
Capture suitable rainwater and excess runoff in properly designed ponds or tanks instead of allowing every drop to go unused.
Keep collected water in suitable storage and follow safe practices to reduce contamination, leaks, and other problems.
During hot and dry conditions, stored water can provide an extra source for irrigation and help farmers care for their crops.
A simple cycle turns seasonal excess water into a resource farmers can plan around.
Gather rainwater or suitable excess runoff during rainy periods using planned collection areas and channels.
Keep water in well-maintained ponds or tanks, with sensible measures to help keep it clean and reduce losses.
When heat and dry weather stress crops, use the stored supply for appropriate irrigation as needed.
Get practical guidance on collection, storage, water quality, and responsible use for the next season.
Heavy rain and extreme heat can both challenge farming communities. Thoughtful water storage can help make the most of wet periods and provide another option when crops need water.
Capture suitable runoff and rainwater rather than letting useful water go to waste.
Stored water may supplement irrigation when rainfall is limited and temperatures rise.
Simple guidance helps communities consider water quality, safe storage, and good maintenance.
Local water planning can contribute to more prepared, resilient farming communities.
Agrisave is built around a practical idea: use water carefully, share knowledge, and plan ahead together.
Put the needs and local knowledge of farming communities at the center of water planning.
Encourage the responsible collection and use of water as part of long-term resource management.
Promote safe storage, suitable water-quality checks, and maintenance that fit local conditions.
