About the Project

While navigating harsh summers and untimely floods, along with tackling the complex consequences of the global climate crisis, it has become easy to overlook how access to clean water sources all year around is a privilege unavailable for many communities and spaces in India. When we seek to understand the adverse consequences of water scarcity in the country, it is imperative to acknowledge how access to clean water is closely tied to social, economic, policy-related, and technological resources available in a region. Across history, overshadowed by social hierarchies and inadequacies, equal access to fundamental life resources has remained a challenge in India. 

With this awareness of the need for holistic interventions to mitigate water scarcity, WaterWays aspires to combine hands-on solutions with community education, thereby creating a new vocabulary for water conservation in India. At the heart of it, through a socially sensitive approach that foregrounds innovation, WaterWays aims to empower individuals to play a more active role in water conservation, thereby ushering in sustainable and long-lasting impact.
