Dry Farming: A Regenerative Path Through El Niño A New Era of Climate-Resilient Agriculture El Niño is reshaping climate in certain key areas of agriculture lands all over the World with delayed monsoons, prolonged dry spells, and rising temperatures. WARNING SIGNS As groundwater levels fall and irrigation becomes unreliable, farmers need a system that works with drought-not against it. Dry farming offers exactly that. Dry farming is a regenerative, low-water method that relies on soil moisture, native seeds, and intelligent land management. It is one of the most powerful tools for India’s climate future. Why Dry F arming Matters During El Niño El Niño disrupts India’s rainfall patterns, causing: · Delayed monsoons · Long dry periods · Higher heat stress · Reduced groundwater recharge · ...
Water scarcity is rising at an alarming rate in certain parts of the world.
Fresh water bodies that depend on rainfall are completely drying due to the fact that climatic conditions are constantly changing and weather patterns are being affected. Deforestation and Construction (River soil removal) have caused so many side effects.
Drought can cause entire Nation to succumb.
Just saw the news that at Tamilnadu (where I come from) there are no rains and water levels are deteriorating at an alarming rate.
Soon people may even have tough time getting potable water.
As an Environmental Scientist, my concern is
What the government and scientists are doing to curb this water deficiency problem?
Tamilnadu has hundreds of universities.
Tamilnadu has thousands of colleges.
These educational institutes have very intelligent students who are guided by intellectual and experienced professors. Why are these universities not researching on alternate water producing topics and produce water?.
People from Tamilnadu have excelled in variety of fields all over the globe.
However, Tamilnadu still has several hours of power cut and shortage of water.
What I am pointing to is - why are these universities and colleges are not researching on novel and innovative methods of producing water at affordable prices.
Ironically, Tamilnadu has the largest desalination plants in whole South east Asia and they have a long coastal area to utilize.
There are innovative technologies such as
Water from air.
Self water filling bottle.
Efficient Desalination - using Nano Technology.
Future Cheap alternatives for desalination - nanotechology filters.
Also solar, bio, wind and geothermal energy can be used along with wind and hydro generated power. Conserve water so during tough days it will be useful. Learn from nature and ancestors. They have recorded several techniques in agriculture and why agriculture is very important by Great Ancient Poet Thiruvalluvar. One example, during drought season they used underground buried pots and it acted as a drip irrigation system to conserve water. At the same time made the plants and trees to survive.
As an individual and group of people, who wanted to do something for the roots, we sincerely tried to get and implement these technologies. but could not afford to do so. We are still trying though.
Sarcastically, I can say that I am sure government can fund these studies with the huge profit they make from TASMAC - Alcohol effects.
What we do is to plant as many trees as we can and save them at our EA FARMS SONA (Sustainable Organic Natural Agricultural) site. Hope these trees helps and brings rain there in the future.
Our area trees:
Also, we are planning to use as much as natural resources at EA Farms.
