To ensure the long-term success of JJM in this region, which of the following approaches is most critical for the BDO to prioritize?

Accepted Answer

B. Promoting rainwater harvesting and groundwater recharge structures. — While Functional Household Tap Connections (FHTCs) are a primary deliverable of JJM, ensuring the sustainability of the water source is paramount, especially in drought-prone areas with depleting groundwater.
