The document discusses regeneration of diversion-based irrigation on the Deo River in Nashik District, Maharashtra. It notes that the area is drought-prone and many villages previously lacked drinking water. It describes the traditional community-based irrigation system using bandharas (check dams) on the Devnadi River that irrigated 6,500 hectares but declined due to various social and economic changes. The project aims to regenerate this system through repairing canals, forming water-user associations, capacity building, and promoting sustainable cropping patterns and groundwater recharge. Initial results include increased irrigation, community participation in restoration, and formation of a producers' cooperative to improve market access.
