Arvari River Project

The Arvari River Project is a community-led initiative in Rajasthan, India, focused on restoring the health of the Arvari River and its watershed. Local villagers collaborate to manage water resources sustainably, reviving traditional rainwater harvesting and conservation practices. By protecting natural ecosystems and regulating water use, the project aims to increase groundwater levels, support agriculture, and preserve biodiversity. It demonstrates how collective community action can effectively restore degraded rivers and create a sustainable, balanced relationship between people and their environment.
