Theory of Change

Two pathways branch from improved water availability. Toggle to focus one, or click any node to see which indicators and methods measure it.

Rejuvenated waterbodies (RWB programme intervention)
Increased surface storage
Groundwater recharge through seepage
Improved water availability (local & agricultural access)
Governance & monitoring (Panchayat, NGO & PMU)
Better soil moisture + Silt reused on farmland
Reduced collection burden (women & children)
Waterbody use (farmers, fishers, households)
Reduced fertiliser dependence, higher cropping intensity & yield
Demand for access norms, maintenance & conflict resolution
Improved farmer income
Strengthened governance

Outcome language is indicative — attribution qualified by context and evidence strength.
