In 2021, Maharaj was among the first farmers to try #JalTara on his 4 acres. Drought and flooding made his income unpredictable.

Two years later, with more stable yields and higher income, he built his first pukka home.

He named it “JalTara.” 📷

Water security changes lives.

70%+ of India’s farmers rely on groundwater. When water declines, poverty, migration, & distress rise.

Our low-cost, scalable #JalTara solution transformed 250+ villages, protecting farms from drought & floods while increasing farmer incomes.

Groundwater sustains rural India—supporting smallholder farmers, food security, and livelihoods. But over-extraction is depleting water tables, harming ecosystems, and threatening communities. #JalTara restores groundwater levels and builds resilience.

97% of Earth's water is in oceans; 2% is frozen. Of the 1% left, 99% is groundwater. 📷
With the UN predicting severe water stress by 2030, our scalable JalTara approach is restoring this vital resource.

The weather whiplash continues.

We need to solve for both drought and floods together.. this is the Jaltara approach!

While we do need to modernize the Anderson reservoir, maybe follow an 80/20 funding plan? And invest the rest into #groundwater replenishment..

There's gold in them thar ground 🙂

"The Middle East is among the regions that are most vulnerable to the effects of climate change."

You cannot solve these problems with the same approaches of today - we need nation-scale, low-cost solutions like #jaltara

@DaveThroup We need to store every drop of this deluge as #groundwater. Saudi Arabia has a massive aquifer underground.

The #jaltara approach can be a major answer to this flood/drought crisis.

[Save Groundwater Foundation @savegroundwater]

This will continue to be a challenge. We need to create more supply of water by storing every drop of excess rain as groundwater.

#jaltara has the answer to this water crisis.

The bigger problem here is not Poland's access to water, but the scarcity of it. If there was enough water, would this be an issue?

We need supply improvements and demand regulations. No point in just blaming Poland.

#jaltara is one approach to supply

#Floods and ##droughts are two sides of the same coin. We need to address both to solve this water crisis.

#Groundwater is where the solution lies - with 100x the capacity of surface reservoirs. #jaltara is the answer!
