Permaculture instructor Andrew Millison journeys to India to film the epic work of the Paani Foundation’s Water Cup Competition and Farmer's Cup Competition. We tour the village of Savargaon Tal, in Maharashtra, who competed in the 2019 competition to install the most amount of water harvesting structures in a 45 day period, and competed had farmer's groups compete in the Farmers Cup Competition in 2023. Guided by Paani Foundation’s chief advisor, Dr. Avinash Pol, we visit the work and see the effects of a watershed-scale groundwater restoration project that has dramatically improved the lives, economy, ecology and stability of this village, and experience the feeling of deep stability that comes with a healthy and abundant landscape.

    I live in Maharashtra and I'm a water conservation engineer. As a subscriber, I feel so proud seeing this video. Pani foundation is the main inspiration for me for transperant and effective colab working. I'd suggest you make another video showing how pani foundation and water cup competition are held how they are scaling up. Training part be covered in detail. Awesome video btw.🎉

  • @willm5814
    The most amazing part of all of this is that somehow they created an approach that would inspire huge numbers of people to work together against a common goal…and that was before having the amazing examples that are now available to inspire future communities- I’ve never seen anything like it !!! Deep respect from Canada 🇨🇦

  • @ichifish
    I imagine in the years to come, as the villages grow prosperous, they'll be able to reforest the hills, bringing even more abundance to the area. Great video, Andrew!

    Hey Andrew, I am also a farmer from Maharashtra and have loved following your work with these villages. Just a humble suggestion to add Hindi and Marathi subtitles/audio to your videos for better reach. It would make it easier to share this information with locals here :)
  • This needs to be done in the western areas if the USA and for all farm lands.

    Seriously amazing, simple but large scale. And incredible to watch my own kids so naturally want to create dams, little ponds and streams. It is their favorite activity.
  • @23fd22
    Mother Earth is so forgiving. Imagine you do the right thing and she responds with abundance. Why does the average person not apply these simple principles to their daily life. What you sow you reap!! Amazing Amazing Amazing!!!
