Approach India's Heritage...
Approach India's history from the point of view of human-nature
interactions. Come face-to-face with a history of water harvesting
since antiquity.
There are 15 agro-ecological zones in India. In each of them,
there are systems that exemplify the myriad ways in which human
needs and limits imposed by the physical environment balance
each other. The history of these ways is the story of many little
traditions of survival and adequate use.
Some of these systems are still in use today. Most of them are
in ruins. None of them have been forgotten.
Let us revive, for our sakes, this dying wisdom. Let us understand,
all over again, how to value the raindrop.
