2. How much longer can groundwater management remain
‘off’ the mainstream water agenda?

3. Need for transitional solutions – e.g. separate feeders in
India
• Elusive problem – subsidy;
excessive pumping; over
abstraction; financial loss to
utilities
• Pragmatic solution - separation
of electricity supply to villages
and pumps
• Outcome - reduced electricity
use, recovering water tables,
improved power supply to
domestic users, higher yields
4. • India has 130,000 GW of
installed pumping capacity in
electric and diesel tube wells
• Shifting to a solar power
source could reduce India’s
Greenhouse Gas emissions by
up to 6%
• Threat of over-use and
resource depletion
• Adopt a hybrid approach –
solar irrigation + feed in tariff
• Provides a ‘nexus’ solution
Agricultural livelihoods -
Energy - Water - Climate
Solar irrigation - the ‘opportunity’ and the ‘risk’
Solar pumps offer 2800-3000 hrs/yr of
top quality, day-time power, free.
5. SPaRC:
You cannot charge Rs 7/unit of grid power to farmers;
BUT YOU CAN PAY THEM Rs 7 FOR THEIR SURPLUS SOLAR POWER
WHICH THEY DO NOT USE TO PUMP WATER
MGVCL’s 25 year Power purchase guarantee at
Rs 4.63/unit
Project Green Energy Bonus: Rs 1.25/kWh
Project Water Conservation Bonus: Rs 1.25/kWh
Total Feed in Tariff:
Rs 7. 13/kWh
