Jorhat, April 26: A former scientist at the Tocklai Tea Research Institute
has developed a climate-resilient model which can help combat drought during
the lean rain periods from December to March, raising annual tea leaf
production by up to 40 per cent.
Prashanta Kumar Bordoloi presented his novel water-harvesting
concept before an international audience at the fourth African Regional
Conference on Irrigation and Drainage, Aswan Dam, Egypt under the aegis of
the International Commission for Irrigation and Drainage, today.
Bordoloi, who is now director, outreach, and professor and head
of the civil engineering department of Kaziranga University, said the
concept could be used for other crops as well as for pisciculture,
recreation and water sports.
Congratulations Prashanta!
