Anupam Mishra travels across water-challenged India
studying rainwater harvesting methods and learning from the people behind them.
He presents his findings to NGOs, development agencies and environmental
groups, pulling from centuries of indigenous wisdom that has found water for
drinking and irrigation even in extremely arid landscapes through wells, filter
ponds and other catchment systems.
A founding member of the Gandhi Peace
Foundation, Mishra is working to bridge the gap between modern water
management technology and India's heritage of water harvesting, so that every
community is self-sustainable and efficiently safekeeping an increasingly
scarce and precious resource.
