LUCKNOW:

Bundelkhand, a cluster of seven districts in southern Uttar Pradesh, long plagued by the scarcity of water faced challenges such as land infertility, and climate vulnerability bringing in initiatives such as water harvesting and dam construction.

Of the seven places identified for water sports five are in Bundelkhand region. "Dams and reservoirs have water round the year. Water sports do not consume water but attract tourists and boost local economy," said a senior official with department of tourism.
