Approach India's Heritage...


Approach India's history from the point of view of human-nature interactions. Come face-to-face with a history of water harvesting since antiquity.

There are 15 agro-ecological zones in India. In each of them, there are systems that exemplify the myriad ways in which human needs and limits imposed by the physical environment balance each other. The history of these ways is the story of many little traditions of survival and adequate use.

Let us revive, for our sakes, this dying wisdom. Let us understand, all over again, how to value the raindrop.
