Thirst For Change: Overcoming Water Crisis

The Good Sight Podcast

Imagine living with half the water you use today—that’s the reality for millions around the globe. Water, once an abundant resource, is now under siege due to population growth, climate change, and unsustainable use, with ripple effects on food security, health, and economies. Amid this crisis, hope flows through initiatives like Tarun Bharat Sangh (TBS), led by Rajendra Singhji, famously known as the 'Waterman of India.'

TBS has rejuvenated rivers like Arvari and Ruparel in Rajasthan, combining ancient wisdom like johads (earthen dams) with modern water management practices. Their grassroots approach has empowered communities, particularly women, to take charge of their water future.

Today, we are joined by Maulik Sisodia, Executive Director at TBS and son of Rajendra Singhji, to delve into the story of TBS and the fight to conserve water.

Discussion Highlights:

• Growing Up with the ‘Waterman of India’: Maulik shares personal stories of how his father’s work influenced his journey.
• Women at the Heart of Change: Exploring the transformative role of women in community-led water management.
• Adapting to Modern Challenges: How TBS addresses the hurdles of water conservation in a rapidly urbanizing India.
• Merging Tradition with Innovation: The synergy of ancient practices and modern water solutions.
• What You Can Do: Practical steps for individuals to contribute to water conservation.

Join us for an insightful conversation on how grassroots initiatives can tackle global challenges, one community at a time
