Water Conservation

Water has been crucial to historic development that has taken place on our globe whether it is plants, animals or human civilization. Harappa, our own roots found support in Indus to grow and sustain with waters flowing through it. Other rivers like Ganges have been a life line to the biggest settlement thriving around its shores.

Due importance was given to harnessing the power of water by way of controlling and storing of water through ponds, wells and aquifers ever since Harappa days, proof of which is still visible around those archaeological sites. Unfortunately, with modern times, we are losing the battle between development and conservation of natural resources with clean water at the centre stage of this degradation.

Factors that contribute to water issues

Poor Management of Resources

Lack of Govt. attention

Man-made
waste

Eighteen percent of the world's population which resides in India only has access to four percent of usable water sources.

Official data in the past decade depicts how annual per capita availability of water in the country has plummeted significantly with 163 million Indians lacking access to safe drinking water.

The National Institution for Transforming India (NITI Ayog), Government of India has released report ‘Composite Water Management Index ’ in June 2018 and listed.

Capital Delhi and other 21 cities in India would run out of groundwater by 2020.

Initiatives

Climate Reality India is working tirelessly to address this issue of water management in a big way.

We collaborated with Pune Municipality and made rain water harvesting structures for schools and other community spaces. Today these locations have turned water positive owing to big catchment area

Rain Water Harvesting Structures

Worked on village level water recharge facility. Beed has been historically water deficient district and water has been supplied by trains and tankers to its villages. We joined hands with villagers there and with technical guidance provided therein, these villages have turned water positive now.

Water Recharge Facility

We look forward to join hands with you and take this forward in areas where you are active / have local influence so that more and more places can be turned water positive.
