A mound of dry castor husk meant for cattle fodder sits at the entrance of Balwantsinh Solanki’s farm in Patan. What is unusual about the fodder is that typically cattle need to be fed with fresh green fodder for better yield. But depleted groundwater and lack of irrigation have forced Solanki to manage with dry castor husk for his 10 cows and four buffaloes. Impact of this lack of water is evident in the decline of daily milk production for Solanki, from 120 litres a year ago to less than 50 litres now.
