*To recharge groundwater, give due attention to soil: conservationist Vijay Borade*
Though desilting water bodies gives short-term relief, the long-term solution lies in afforestation and change in cropping pattern
According to Borade, Maharashtra government’s flagship Jalyukt Shivar Yojana destroys natural filters during river-deepening activities
He calls for practising conservation at micro level and thinking of localised solutions like ridge to valley treatment of watershed.
