The Wisdom That Was ! - A Talk by Anupam Mishra on traditional water harvesting systems of the Rajasthan desert
The Wisdom That Was !, captures a very interesting and informative talk, by Anupam Mishra, on traditional water harvesting systems of the Rajasthan desert. This course is part of a multimedia course series developed by Arghyam for the India Water Portal in collaboration with IT and domain experts. The talk is in Hindi, with some subtitles in English.
Shri Anupam Mishra has worked in the field of environment and water conservation for many decades, and is currently with the Gandhi Peace Foundation New Delhi. 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.
