# POIGAI — District Climate Problems & Responses

Edition 1.1 · 2026-10-15

144 districts across five southern states.

District names checked against government directories. Contexts, questions, problem selections and proposed actions are POIGAI planning synthesis using regional briefs and district source routes, not 144 completed district risk assessments. No severity ranking or confirmed local unmet need is claimed. Consult the cited district plan/maps and obtain local measurements before project selection.

All three starting problems are unranked planning suggestions. No confirmed local unmet need, partner appointment, budget or delivery date is implied.

**Local question:** Which institutional and farm sites can provide comparable seasonal measurements?

**Status:** Planning screen — local verification pending

### Dry-season water reliability

Problem to check: Check whether drinking-water sources, wells and storage remain dependable through dry months.

Response to assess: Prepare a seasonal water budget, test source quality and compare leak repair, demand reduction and hydrogeologically suitable recharge.

Baseline: Monthly supply days, well levels, abstraction and water-quality tests.

Measures: Reliable service days and seasonal extraction, with water quality maintained.

Roles to appoint: Local body, water utility, hydrogeologist and participating water users.

### Heat in homes, workplaces and institutions

Problem to check: Check occupied indoor heat and outdoor work exposure, including humidity and access to shade.

Response to assess: Audit a school, health centre or worksite; compare roof treatment, shading, ventilation and professionally designed heat-response arrangements.

Baseline: Occupied-hour indoor/outdoor temperature, humidity, occupancy and energy use.

Measures: Hours above an agreed comfort threshold; protected work periods; weather-adjusted electricity.

Roles to appoint: Building owner, facilities operator, occupational-health team and qualified designer.

### Rainfall-sensitive crops and farm income

Problem to check: Check crop-stage dry spells, excess-rain damage and income sensitivity for locally grown crops.

Response to assess: Co-design a small comparable farmer trial with KVK support: crop timing, locally suited varieties, soil cover and water budgeting.

Baseline: Crop-wise multi-season yield, rainfall, labour, input costs and farm water use.

Measures: Yield stability and net return including household labour, compared across seasons.

Roles to appoint: Farmer group or FPO, KVK agronomist and independent evaluator.

Review depth: State framework and district directory screened. Mandal-level heat, flood and agricultural observations still need extraction and local verification.

Boundary check: Historical studies may cover different boundaries; reconcile mandals/taluks and dates before use.

Next step: consent, existing records, seasonal baseline, options appraisal, accepted delivery and maintenance roles, full lifecycle cost and an agreed outcome target. Timing depends on access and the relevant season; dates are not committed.
