RAJSHAHI, April 11, 2021 (BSS)- Around 20,000 people are getting safe drinking water from dug-wells in some of the drought-prone high Barind tract where the existing shallow and deep tube-wells water technologies are yet to be reached due to various reasons.
The villagers are not only using the water for drinking and other household purposes but also cultivating various less-irrigation consuming cereal crops and vegetables after the best uses of the surface water.
Around 1,000 hectares of land have, so far, been brought under vegetable farming through operating 400 dug-wells till February last.
The dug-wells were constructed on behalf of a project titled “Extension Excavation of Dug-well in the Barind Area for Cultivation of Crops by Soft Irrigation”.
