1000 people in a village need 2.5 crore ltr water annually. Water will come in to the well only if there is water underground.Each year from 1000 mm rainfall (in India) every 1 hectare land receives 1 crore ltr rain-water free of cost & not even 5 lakh ltr recharges underground to increase ground-water. 80-90 % is wasted as Run-off & Evaporation & one cannot store this much water above ground.See More

The number of people without improved water sources in China alone is equal to the number of un-served in all of Africa…See More
