feed plants.
Repairs of tube wells, clear of the sludge in
the canals and local water catchments and
clean the water tanks, large ponds and lakes
Arrangement of feeds and fodder from
adjoining areas, exploitation of non

cultivation and storage establishment of
fodder block making machines in fodder
surplus areas.
To strengthen reservoirs by promoting
recharging of water and rain water
harvesting during rainy season.

the water shortage and normal
stocking and culture practice may
be adopted.
