About
Smart practices have the potential to make a huge difference in areas where access to clean water is still an issue. Basic instruction on water-usage habits, installation of water-saving devices and replenishing the level of groundwater through harvesting are some of the many useful interventions that can make a significant impact in parched communities.

Yavatmal Check Dams
In 2020, Project Rise partnered with World Vision India to launch a water security and farmer upliftment project in Yavatmal, Maharashtra, a chronically drought-prone region with unpredictable rainfall leading to a tragically high number of farmer suicides. As part of the project, check dams have been installed in five villages in order to alleviate the water scarcity that is prevalent in the region
