Annapurna’s elevated pond

Annapurna Farm has created an elevated pond on top of a hill. The hill was made from soil dug up in 2018 to double the size of the farm’s existing irrigation ponds, and so expand its rainwater harvesting capacity and depend less on groundwater. The elevated water body will serve as a buffer stock of water during the rice growing season, so that the farm becomes less vulnerable to the erratic power supply of the grid.
