Water Security

Location of Intervention: Jawhar, Mokhada & Vikramgarh (Palghar District), Parner (AhilyaNagar District), Maharashtra

The Challenges

Water is the lifeblood of existence, crucial for health, hygiene, and vital industries like agriculture, energy, and transportation. The stability of any community or nation hinges on water security.

Climate variability disrupts rainfall patterns and intensifies temperatures, leading to shorter rainy seasons and prolonged dry spells. These changes have profound effects on lives and livelihoods, amplifying human suffering and elevating the risks of instability, conflict, and migration. Unfortunately, the regions most vulnerable to environmental shifts are often those already grappling with poverty and a lack of resources for effective water management.
