His books on the work of people/society organising themselves, to harvest and manage water - Aaj Bhi Kharein Hai Taalab and Rajasthan Ki Rajat Boonde, are considered landmark works in the field, and continue to inspire several individuals even today, to take up work on setting up and reviving such time-tested water harvesting systems.
