So while our strength is working with the communities, we also work with the local Governments and the State Government to reach out these case studies to reach out these cases to their notice with the hope some of them get translated into better policies or new policy.
Water is such a serious issue that it is not just to the NGOs, communities, Governments, it has to include each and every individual. I do not come from a water background. I indulge into it as I started getting curious and started asking several questions like where does the water in my tap come from and I had no clue. So as long as I was getting water, I didn't care. I started caring for water when it stopped coming and that took me to several other questions and answers. The water in the tap comes from the supply tank and so it raises my curiosity, where does the water come from? I got to know it was from Kaveri and then again I wondered How far the water is flowing from the Kaveri.

Regardless of where we are is to get informed get information about water. Think about what you can do at your own level.

Simple things like making your kids party to conserving water. In the beginning they may feel it a tedious job and so will ask you several questions and from there the conversations start of awaring them. Water Literacy is a starting point and then from somewhere you can start engaging them, making them understand what one can do at an individual level.

But none of this can happen if people are not interested in the subject. It's not an academic subject, it's concerned with all humans. Not just with humans, but with animals, mountains, lakes, our surroundings, all these are interconnected with water and so to each other and we fragmented them to the level of tap.
