Water Conservation
Water is life. We have been listening to this phrase since time immemorial, but do we realize its importance for our sustenance. India along with some other nations is going through an unprecedented water crisis.
There are many factors that have led to this water crisis in our country, the major being the effects of climate change. Due to climate change we are having erratic rainfalls, cloud bursts, the rain days are decreasing, the droughts are drier and draining rivers, aquifers, and reservoirs. In urban as well as rural landscape, catchment areas are decreasing with large scale wetland degradation and poor water management.

CLIMATE REALITY IS WORKING INTENSIVELY ON PROGRAMS LIKE TRADITIONAL RAINWATER HARVESTING SYSTEM AS WELL AS OFFLINE / ONLINE WORKSHOPS TO CREATE LOCAL WATER WARRIORS.
