💨 Abstract

The construction of reservoirs and water holes within Rajaji National Park has reduced the movement of elephants through areas with more human population, according to an official. This is due to an increased availability of water in the forests, reducing human-wildlife conflicts. The improvement in water needs of wildlife is attributed to the government's Amrit Sarovar Yojana, which aims to develop or rejuvenate 75 ponds in each district of the country.
