He said that experiences revealed that promotion of water harvesting structures through appropriate institutional mechanisms and financial arrangements would be the best intervention or adaptive mechanism to reduce the adverse impact of climate change on groundwater resources as well as farm economy-based livelihood.

He too expressed concern that both farmers and people residing in towns were facing the problem of water scarcity.
