Drought and water scarcity are now issues all around the world. Cities are running out of water, landscapes are engulfed in flames, and every year drought, flood and fire become more common and severe. Despite the huge amount of energy and money that has been put into developing elaborate water systems, the distribution and availability of water seems to continue getting worse. The engineered solutions that nations around the world have pursued, while solving our immediate needs, have made the long term outlook even more bleak. The best solutions we’ve found have come from people living close to their landscape, dependent on the health of their land for their own survival.

Water Stories trains and connects people to create meaningful impact through Water Cycle Restoration.

In the driest region of India, Doctor Rajendra Singh was up against these enormous challenges. The farmland in his region had turned to desert, water sources had gone dry, and all of the young people from the villages had migrated to the cities for work. While he was treating the remaining elderly villagers for night blindness (due to malnutrition), one village elder showed Rajendra a more powerful way to help the community. He told Rajendra that what the community needed to be healthy was not medicine, but water - Rajendra had to shift his focus to treating the Earth.

Community Driven Decentralized Water Retention
As people in the surrounding communities saw and heard of the results, interest in the work started to spread. As more villages brought water back to their landscapes, health, prosperity, and enjoyment returned to the region. Instead of just one crop per year, villagers were now able to grow 2, 3 or even 4 crops each year. Young people who had migrated to the cities for work started to return. Working with water delivers results after the first rainy season. As people helped infiltrate the seasonal rains into the ground, the health of their communities returned. Rajendra’s work became a movement, spreading throughout the region.

Remarkable Results
As the groundwater in the region returned, so did the flow of the rivers. Seasonal rivers started to flow year round. Rivers like the Arvari that had been dry for decades started to flow year round once again. 250,000 wells were recharged, benefiting more than a million people and even causing reverse migration. 7 rivers were revived. The temperature in the region was reduced by 2 degrees Celsius.

Reviving the Water Cycle
Even in the driest and harshest conditions, the water cycle can be recharged and become healthy once again. If the poorest villages in the driest part of India can restore the health of their landscape, then why can’t this work be done around the world? Community Driven Decentralized Water Retention provides a clear and proven pathway towards a better common future. Decades of environmental damage can be reversed in a few years and our planet can be rejuvenated by working with water, soil, and vegetation.
