• The concept of para-hydrogeologists
  The concept of para-hydrogeologists, as proposed by ACWADAM, emphasizes the involvement of local experts in groundwater management to enhance water sustainability. These para-workers, including traditional doctors and hydrologists, aim to revive indigenous knowledge and build community capacity through training and skill development. They facilitate the connection between science and society by using local terminology and fostering participatory research methodologies. The initiative seeks to address the lack of grassroots expertise and promote eco-friendly practices while ensuring financial sustainability and ethical support. Ultimately, this approach aims to empower communities to manage their water resources effectively.
