Community micro irrigation involves integration of farmers. This refers to differences between the area, crop, terrain, soil, and as micro irrigation is a relatively new concept in agriculture, it would require training, capacity building of all the associated farmers. Nevertheless, hand to hand support within farmers is a fundamental requisite for a better yield and a better quality yield.
In regard to community micro irrigation, Netafim offers the following services.

Gotkhindi is a region in the Sangli district of Maharashtra. This is the first community irrigation project. The principal water source (Krishna River) of Gotkhindi lies 6 km away from the Main Delivery Chamber (MDC). Irrigation was initially possible owing to the availability of electricity for 24 hours a day, however, which was later on reduced to 12 hours a day on account of load shedding. Netafim, in 2010, proposed the Water User Co-Operative Society to adopt drip irrigation system to improve the irrigation situation.
Bambawade is a village in the Sangli district of India. The uniqueness of the project is with its lift that is designed entirely on drip.
