India’s water crisis is an ever-growing problem. India, in general, is water-stressed due to changing weather patterns and repeated droughts. Our region normally has good rain, but most of the water flows away because of poor drainage controls. As a result, we face water issues three to four months during summer. We supplement our needs by buying water, delivered in tankers. Couple of years back with the financial help of HEM Ashram Foundation USA, we dug one well and a nearby pond to store rainwater. We also made two underground tanks to store rain water using rainwater harvesting. Water pumps, water filtration systems, storage tanks and pipes are installed to bring and distribute water to the campus.
We also have incorporated rainwater harvesting and eco-friendly/organic farming, in our practices.
