The UP Government commissioned a research which marked Budhana in the `dark zone given its sinking water levels. When I worked in the fields, we would manage to find water 80 feet below the ground and until four years ago, bore wells could pump water out of 110-120 feet, today, in Budhana, water is found 220 feet under the ground. It was challenging to explain to the farmers the benefit of this technique. The best way to explain this technology to them was to ask them which is the best way to irrigate land. Everyone agreed that natural rainfall was the best option and this technique recreates the sprinkle of rainfall. <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>Nawaz has grown sugarcane, rice and wheat in his farms and returns to inspect the progress of his harvest, whenever he gets time.
