HOW WILL IT SECURE INDIA’S WATER FUTURE

CONNECTED TANK SYSTEMS SINCE HARAPPAN TIMES HARVESTED RAIN – INDIA’S PRIMARY WATER SOURCE

TANKS WERE PRESERVED BY THE WIN-WIN-WIN PRACTICE OF PERIODIC DESILTING

Over the last 200 years this practice was lost, costing the system 70% of its capacity

This is a key reason for floods, drought, groundwater and farm stress affecting most of India
