ACC, part of the Adani Portfolio, and the Adani Foundation are advancing climate resilience through transforming water conservation efforts in rural Maharashtra.

In Dhakori village, Wani block, Yavatmal district, the companies addressed chronic water scarcity by building an upstream cement nala bund under the 2024-25 Climate Action Water Conservation initiative.

Despite heavy monsoons, runoff previously left fields dry by November, restricting farmers to one crop annually.

The new structure stores nearly 48,000 litres of water, recharges borewells and provides year-round supply to 96 acres of farmland.

Around 35 farmers now grow multiple crops, with incomes rising by about Rs 18,000 per acre.

The project has also secured household and livestock water supplies, fostering community stability.

By revitalising resources in Dhakori, ACC and the Adani Foundation demonstrate how targeted, community-led initiatives can achieve sustainable rural development amid climate challenges.
