Awareness

Awareness and sensitization form a crucial part of Aarangar’s mission. We engage with diverse communities, including rural and urban populations, students, and our valued donors from various sectors of society through workshops, campaigns, and interactive sessions. Sustainable water practices, nature based solutions and our heritage of traditional methods of water conservation are focus of these interactions. This approach empowers individuals to take informed action, fostering a collective movement for sustainable water conservation and encouraging communities to actively participate in creating lasting solutions for water management. Additionally, university students who volunteer or intern with us are inspired to become changemakers, applying their knowledge and energy to drive impactful environmental initiatives.

Research and Knowledge Resources

Systematic research forms the backbone of our work. We conduct extensive household surveys and area assessments to understand water-related challenges and measure the impact of our initiatives. This data-driven approach helps us design effective solutions, monitor progress, and share insights with students, volunteers, and researchers to further the cause of sustainable water management.

Creation of Traditional Water Bodies

Reviving the legacy of traditional water conservation, we support communities to revive the culture of terrain specific traditional water holding structures. These structures not only address water scarcity but also recharge groundwater, recharges wells & handpumps, support agriculture, and improve overall water availability for households and livestock, transforming the livelihoods of rural communities

Revival of Syaluta wali River Catchment

This is one of our most ambitious projects, focused on the revival of the Syaluta Wali Nadi catchment area in Alwar and Dausa, Rajasthan. Spanning 21 villages, our efforts aim to restore the natural water flow and rejuvenate ecosystems. By creating new traditional water-holding structures, reviving old ones, undertaking afforestation, and driving community-led interventions, we strive to restore the health of this water system. These actions recharge aquifers, support biodiversity, and contribute to climate resilience and disaster risk reduction, ensuring sustainable water availability for generations to come. The project’s uniqueness lies in its systematic interventions in the catchment, a strong focus on research, and measurable impact of each activity. Comprehensive documentation of the interventions will further ensure the replicability of this model in other regions facing similar challenges.
