Sync traditional knowledge and science to build resilience

A recent report by the Union ministry of earth sciences (MOES), Observed Rainfall Variability and Changes, has found that seven Indian states — Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, Himachal Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya and Nagaland — have witnessed significant decreasing trends in annual rainfall in the last 30 years. Alarmingly, many other parts of the country have also seen an increase in the number of dry days during the monsoon season. This, the report added, has adversely affected groundwater recharges in these rain-deficit regions. This rain deficit and its impact on groundwater can be attributed to the climate crisis, government officials acknowledge.

The impact of an erratic monsoon on agriculture — and farmers — is direct. This is because between 50% to 60%of the country’s agriculture is still rainfed, without access to any form of irrigation. The 2017-18 Economic Survey said the climate crisis could reduce annual agricultural incomes in the range of 15-18% on an average, and up to 20-25% for unirrigated areas.
