Community based Rain Water Harvesting – the
paradigm of the past has in it as much strength today as it ever before. A survey Conducted by the Centre for Science and Environment of several villages facing drought found that all those villages which had undertaken rainwater harvesting and or watershed
development in earlier years had no drinking water problem what so ever and
even had some water to irrigate the crops.

It does
not mater how much rain you get, if you can’t capture it you can still be
short of water. It is unbelievable but it is true that Cherrapunji which gets
11,000 mm annual rainfall, still suffers from serious drinking water
shortages.

As per the Clarion call of our Hon’ble Chief Minister to conserve Rain Water, we have taken a major
initiative in this regard. The Collector has personally led a rally for creating
awareness on this issue. This gave the necessary impetus for kickstarting the campaign and now it is slowly becoming a people’s
movement.
