Discussion covers multiple water conservation and agricultural adaptation strategies: (4) Recycling of water by linking peri-urban and rural areas to use recycled water for irrigation; (5) Shifting to hardy crops and horticulture; (6) Developing aquaponics systems which reduces the need for water as fishes clean the water continuously; (7) New cultivation methods like Direct Seeding of Rice to reduce irrigation needs. Case studies of Ralegaon Siddhi and Hiware Bazar in Maharashtra are cited as examples of villages that used natural irrigation methods via watershed planning and have become the richest villages in India.
