Water Conservation & Management


I am sure you would fall ill if you drink this water but in reality, there are many villages like the one in picture where the people are solely dependent on such water resources for their drinking purposes. Low cost water purifies and RO systems are alien terms to such places. The villagers do follow some conventional water purification techniques but do you think it is enough??
Story of a village in Udaipur District.






Anicuts, small water harvesting masonry dam constructed across a stream to hold sufficient water and submerge the upstream area during the rainy season. Lots of money has been allocated to the construction of such structures in past but we need to adopt more accurate techniques to hold surface water and recharge the underground water tables.








Numerous wells have been dug throughout the arid and semi arid areas that have led to a rapid decrease in the underground water tables. 






A masterpiece created under the effect of running water on rocky hills. A sacred place known for diverse life forms living in its vicinity.

Seasonal River or a seasonal highway for rural transport??
