But whats the better route - local level micro-projects, or State sponsored mega ones ? I have little to back this up, but my intuition would go with the former. Yes some of the latter is needed since there are areas where there isn't any water to be conserved or harvested, and the state can help at that scale. But usually, the issues are local, and scale only adds cost, feasibility and management problems to what have, and should have been, grassroots level skills.
