Two water harvesting structures set up in Nandyal and Anantapur districts, with the help of the International Crops Research Institute for Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) and the Andhra Pradesh Cement Works (APCW ), have harvested 2.34 lakh cubic metres of rainwater.
In February 2019, the APCW signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for the integrated watershed project in partnership with the ICRISAT. The project is benefiting around 500 households directly, a release by the company said on Wednesday.
The APCW and the ICRISAT have constructed seven rainwater harvesting structures at Patnikota in Kolimigundla mandal in Nandyal district and Ayyavaripalli in Tadipatri mandal in Anantapur district.
