Community Efforts : Rural Water Management Initiatives

Rural water harvesting

It is heartening to see the revival of traditional water harvesting systems in various ecological zones of India. Communities in the face of adversity have revived or created new water harvesting systems. They have made checkdams, johads, and other structures to harvest every drop of drain. Some of them have even harvested rooftop runoffs. In many places these efforts have withstood the effects of recurring drought.
