- gravity can help farmers get water where they need it - is there any option for constructing elevated tanks to help in this regard? Yes this is being considered but mainly for drop irrigation - It seems farmers in Robit Bata are resistant to rope and washer pumps because of previous experiences. However they seem to be working well for several hundred farmers in Angacha - is there any option for farmer exchange visits to help with exposing Robit Bata farmers to the successful use of the pumps in Angacha? Yes, this is possible although it might be simpler for them to visit Dangila (80 km from Robit Bata) where rope and washer pumps are being used successfully.
