Absolutely it's so heart warming. Very positive video. I did watch a few, and that felt really good.

Have a look on his previous video to know the Cauvery Delta region and the water management.

Carnataka will run dry soon by some earth movement.

so lazy, greedy, entitled politiicians who are too dumb to ask for an engineering report to study the system so they can implement a policy to do THEIR DUTY. why help the local citizens when they can steal tax money and live a lavish lifestyle.

Thesr were built by Chola raja, not Stalin Comerade.

...with the added benefit that it brings people and communities together.

U don't need to be a true of fake indian (whatever that is) to see the benefit or restauring these infrastructures 😂

Not precolonial u could say pre Islamic as the muslim invaders destroyed a lot more than the British

He actually has received a prestigious national award from the government for him s excellent work

India's first civilization, the Saraswati-Indus (aka Harappan) from 5,000 years ago had amazing water management systems if you look it up on YT. I briefly mentioned these far less ancient South Indian irrigation systems (see below) in my 2015 work on the synthesis of science and spirituality - which shows how ancient Indian knowledge of metaphysics (Vedanta-Tantra) is going to form the basis of the new Post-Materialist Science based on the Primacy of Consciousness [as many US scientists who have studied Consciousness-related phenomena and UAP etc. In fact eco-philosophers are beginning understand the need to reverse the false despiritualization by abstraction of Nature by modern Western science - which led to today's false Materialism - through its Christian and Galilean myths. "Indian Christian proselytizer (linked to US and UK Evangelist groups) Vishal Mangalwadi regurgitates the self-justifying lies invented by the British colonial parasites that, due to Hindu superstitions, India had been mired in abject poverty for millennia, before the altruistic British Christians came to the rescue. For instance, Mangalwadi makes out that Indians did not know how to build irrigation canals before the British came when in fact, one of Mangalwadi’s Evangelist heroes, Charles Trevelyan, had written of the remarkable ancient irrigation schemes of the Hindus still functioning in South India. British invasions of Indian states, followed by the British looting Indian treasuries, deindustrialization and creation of famines by ‘bloodsucking’ the peasantry had led to many of the old schemes falling into ruin. Mangalwadi even writes: The Herculean efforts to free India from her poverty were Christian efforts,... ...Philip Mason’s popular book, The Men Who Ruled India, identifies that [Christian Evangelist] Sir Richard Temple ... as a man of tremendous vision and ceaseless action,... In fact Richard Temple, acting for Benjamin Disraeli’s hand-picked henchman Viceroy Lytton, forced Indian victims of the 1877 famine inflicted upon them by British ‘Let-them-starve’ policies, to travel for miles to do hard labour for smaller rations (including flour diluted with dirt) than Nazis gave to their Death Camp inmates in Buchenwald (not all Nazi Death Camps used gas chambers). As a conquered nation, India must pay tribute, stated Disraeli whilst he Marquis of Salisbury, India Secretary in 1875 had written that “India must be bled”. The British covered-up the 94% mortality rates in such ‘Death Camps’. Simultaneously, Disraeli’s regime forced India to export record amounts of foodgrains to provide British and other Europeans with cheap food. In 1877, whilst millions of Indians starved, Lytton, organised the biggest feast in human history in Delhi to celebrate Disraeli’s gesture of giving Victoria Saxe-Coburg the grand title ‘Empress of India’. "

Also our governement only know how to occopy water body land and sell it as real estate.

I have seen water bodies in villages upto year 2000 But beyond which development kicked in

What about the pollution, plastic trash and pesticide run off from all that farms thats going into these lakes? Now that they are all getting connected, contamination in one lake will reach others as well. In chola times everything was organic and there was no industrial or plastic pollution

I think the British colonists didn’t help India But you cannot blame the British for: (1) the plastic and other trash that made its way to the ponds and lakes in the last 5 decades (2) the way manufacturers build their factories with Zero regard for the environment and dumping of their waste produces (3) the corruption in the Indian civil service and political class which enables bad laws to be promulgated and allows bad behaviour to be ignored without any consequences because - bribes and corruption!

​@@lamdao1242 j agree with all your points but .....mmm ... The thing Brits Raj started is being given a furnishing by present day civil bodies and us civilians our selves.. For eg.. In ahom dynasty, the sworgonarayon chakradha singh DEO started paik system where every glass be it merchants,scholars,soldiers, aristocrats,priests,pilgrims etc. Must give 2-3 year service in army and 5 year in maintaining the wetlands near the bramhaputro river as it is a very high current aggressive one it has been continuously engulfing the river banks increasing its water territory , and other process were dams from present day odisha ie. Kalinga kingdom ... Other techniques from Viet ,Thai,burmese nations as they were closes to them and have the similar geography.. and it was a success but after the Brits crown's arrival things changed now the river has gone to its extreme and rapidly eating the banks... Ahoms were once the rulers of river and had quite a good maritime warfare skills through which they kept the nawabs of Bengal and mughal dynasty away..

Me too but only on a heavy half acre at 4300 feet. Figuring out which trees , plants work best for my area. Even my tiny swales have kept water on the property during monsoon .

I’m envious I want to build a naturally self-sustaining homestead one day

your geography didn't taught you because the king was Hindu,what ever great things done by Hindus were not taught in Indian text books ,it because indian first educational minister was a Moulana ,we studied only about invaders as they are great

@@aadithyasangani717Or because it's a geography text book and not history.

Tamil Nadu also lost large swaths of land to neighbouring states when states were reorganized. Tamils always have high regards and fondness for the people of Kerala, the Chera part of ancient Thamizhagam. Kerala is truly God's own country and Malayalis' pride for their land, language, and culture will surely help overcome the threat you have highlighted.

Colonial mindset right from our education system, We are taught that british and mughals were the ones who taught india civilization.

That's not directly true. The longest ruling dynasty were pandyas as they manage to outlive Chola dynasty by another 400 years. Also there's the whole Kalabara period where the three dynasties and Ay kingdom was subjugated and fell out of power.

How little Westerners know about the history of the Indian subcontinent! Most probably believe that the British Empire brought civilization to India.@@akapbhan

@@johnbanach3875 What does this have anything to do with my reply?

Thanks Jon. I appreciate it 🙏🙏🙏

The aquifer crosses the property lines but their well doesn’t. Just do better than they do and you’ll convince them. Swales cost tens of thousands, wells are cheap. Show them the return on investment and maybe you change their mind.

Look up well recharging and grouundwater injection recharging. You might have a better chance convincing them better to turn their well into a recharge structure.
