HARVEST RAIN,
HARVEST HOPE
On April 22, Earth Day 2003 -- dedicated to the growing crisis of freshwater in the world
-- CSE previewed its evocative public service advertisement reminding people of the
enormous potential of harvesting the raindrop. The 90-second TV spot, directed by Nandita
Das, will be broadcast on major Indian television channels.
To coincide with the release of this advertisement, CSE has launched a new website that
informs people about rainwater harvesting and provides a toolkit of practices and
technologies. It also identifies water harvesters in India's major eco-regions.
