Project Approach

e project is implemented in “Ridge to Valley” concept and Composite vulnerability index for the three
Mahasamund (6,000 ha), Baloda climate smart wetland management project districts are developed and used as baseline
Bazar (6,000 ha), and Dhamtari practices are adopted for demand for developing future climate adaptation strategies.
(8,000 ha) districts of Chhattisgarh side management in 20,000 ha. e earthen work like Continuous Contour
having substantial wetland cover. area as a climate adaptation Trench (CCT), Staggered Contour Trench (SCT),
Developed baseline database on the strategy. Land use and land cover Water Absorption Trench (WAT), bunds, plugs,
geophysical, biological and changes in wetland structure are gabion structures, etc. are carried out for
socio-economic vulnerability of the studied using remote sensing data controlling water velocity, soil erosion and for
project areas. and GIS platform. promoting in-situ conservation of rainfall.
