Күн бұрын

Permaculture instructor Andrew Millison journeys to India to film the epic work of the Paani Foundation’s Water Cup Competition. We tour the village of Garavadi, in Maharashtra, who competed in the 2019 competition to install the most amount of water harvesting structures in a 45 day period. Guided by Paani Foundation’s chief advisor, Dr. Avinash Pol, we visit the work and see the effects of a watershed-scale groundwater restoration project that has dramatically improved the lives, economy, ecology and stability of this village, all in 45 days!

Wow. I know this works. But to have a competition between villages... Brilliant idea. There are no "losers" in that competition. Yes, some villages do better than others, but ALL who participate are improving their villages and lives. Eager to see the next episode. Subscribed.

You go slightly to the west of Satara and you'll reach the Sahyadri mountains which receive 2000-5000 mm rain per year. These mountains run along the entire western coast of Maharashtra and continue until Kerala. Very different pictures on both sides of the mountain. To its west, you can grow rice (very water hungry crop) on just rainfall and no separate irrigation. To the east it is mostly semi-arid and arid.

They work with such intelligence and neverending vigor. It's really inspiring, and with the effects of climate change starting to severely affect our rainfall here in Europe too, the methods they are developing will sooner or later become interesting even to European countries, where water is currently still actively drained off the land because of outdated 19th-century ideas of land development.

This is really a great initiative, and it’s great that it was brought to life by an Indian celebrity, hopefully it’ll inspire more Indian celebrities to get involved in similar projects. In the video you mention they practice rotational grazing, have they been exposed to the work of Dr Allan Savory who developed a system of holistic management which include a continuous adaptive grazing technique. If they haven’t, I would strongly urge you to look at the work of the Savory Institute. Keep up the great work with your videos, we need more example of communities working collaboratively to build solutions to their joint problems.

A great effort to make the most of available resources. In this case: water. Of course, getting twice the rainfall compared to last year is a big difference, too.

@thisorthat7626 4 жыл бұрын

True the additional rainfall helps tp replenish the ground water. But it would have been lost without the modifications they made.
