The Foundation for Ecological Security (FES) works towards the ecological restoration and conservation of land and water resources, in a variety of eco-fragile and degraded landscapes across the country. The projects of FES are located in three of the ten bio-geographic zones of the country including the Semi-arid regions, the Deccan plateau in peninsular India and the Coast. Our work is focused on common lands, collectively managed by the local communities and upon which large sections of the community especially the poor continue to depend upon for their sustenance and livelihood. Currently, FES is working in about 2,200 villages, in 27 districts, addressing about 1,30,000 hectares of common land in the states of Gujarat, Rajasthan, Orissa, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Northeast.

Accordingly, the book is written as a technical manual that remains accessible to people seeking to gain necessary expertise in the planning, design, installation and maintenance of lift irrigation systems (LIS).
