Life on the Land -  Water Harvesting and Management  Solutions

Additionally, we prioritise the protection of natural water sources and integrate ecological considerations into our approach. With regular monitoring and evaluation, we ensure the long-term effectiveness of our interventions, ultimately aiming to enhance water availability and empower communities to become stewards of their water resources.

The Essence of Water Harvesting:

 

Water harvesting embodies the art and science of capturing, managing, and distribution of water resources. It involves the strategic slowing, spread, collection, storage, and distribution of rainfall and runoff to nourish, hydrate and rejuvenate land that has suffered from degradation, erosion, or desertification. This process is essential in regions where water scarcity prevails, and its importance cannot be overstated.
