Extract from the article:
The ATE Foundation has initiated a
transformative project to revive 5,000 waterbodies, benefiting 7,000 villages
in India since 2016.
The project is a response to farmer suicides
in Maharashtra, aiming to bring life back to parched lands by rejuvenating
lakes, ponds, and tanks.
This initiative showcases a remarkable effort
to address ecological challenges and provide sustainable resources to
communities across the country.

My Take:
Not
a Drop To Drink
"In my blog on water crises, I touched
upon the looming Water Wars and advocated for innovative solutions like
harvesting water from air and solar-powered desalination.
The ATE Foundation's work to rejuvenate
waterbodies echoes the urgency I highlighted in finding new water sources and
conserving existing ones. Their efforts align with the need to secure water
resources for a sustainable future."

Farmers
Committing Suicides
"In my blog addressing farmer suicides
due to water scarcity, I highlighted the vicious cycle of agricultural distress
stemming from inadequate water infrastructure.
The delayed dam projects and mismanagement of
water resources leading to farmer debts and tragedies mirror the situation in
Maharashtra.
The ATE Foundation's intervention to revive
waterbodies underscores the critical role of water availability in farming
sustainability and livelihood protection."

Call to Action:
To the ATE Foundation:
Your commitment to water conservation and
rural rejuvenation is commendable.
I urge you to expand your initiatives and
collaborate with governmental bodies to scale up efforts for sustainable water
management and agricultural resilience in more regions across India.
