Programme

Water Management & Disaster Management

Water management, public awareness campaigns, and disaster management.

The mission

Why this work matters.

Water and trees are inseparable. A community forest cannot survive without attention to groundwater recharge, rainwater harvesting, and responsible irrigation. Kesu Environment Foundation works with villages on low-cost, locally appropriate water management — johads, check dams, contour trenches, farm ponds, and restoration of traditional systems.

We also support communities with disaster management, particularly flood response in the Punjab plains and drought preparedness in Rajasthan and Haryana. Our work here is technical and practical: risk assessment, community training, and coordination with district authorities.

From the field

Photographs from the work.

All photographs are taken by the Foundation's field team with the permission of the communities they depict. The work continues — the gallery is updated as new documentation happens.
