Structure: Pingoon Nadi – storage capacity of 31,050,000 litres

Raghunath owns 2 acres of land. He used to have a bore well on his land that yielded saline water for under an hour a day. This same bore well now provides fresh water for 4 hours at a stretch and enables him to farm much more intensively. This year he expects 3000 kilos of bajra from his land. He owns 12 buffalos for which he says he has adequate supplies of fresh and dry fodder for the year. He says the quality of the soil is now good enough to grow fodder for the next 3 years. Before the creation of the nadi, the fodder, if at all he attempted to grow it, would not last for more than 3 months and as such he never really attempted to grow it. He sells 200 litres of milk per day, making himself a decent living.
