Reversing Drought and Mass Migration with Water Cycle Restoration
Published: Tue, 07/20/21
Hi ,
I know drought is on all of our minds right now. We face record heat waves and wildfires, and everyday we learn about how our water supplies are dwindling down to crisis levels.
What if the solutions for reversing drought came from people in some of the poorest regions on earth? What if these water revival systems also created a way out of poverty, reversed migration, and allowed girls and boys to go back to school?
We wanted to share a webinar that tells this story, because it’s a blueprint for how to reverse drought in some of the driest, resource scarce areas on earth.
Minni Jain is the director of Flow Partnership, and helps communities across the world fund and organize decentralized water catchment systems. These projects have become a lifeline for ecosystem restoration, and community resurrection.
In areas depopulated from desertification, drought, and migration, these
water catchment systems provide a way back to a stable ecosystem and livelihood.
She’ll be sharing case studies and stories from across India, African and Europe about water system restoration.
We hope you’ll join us on this webinar on Thursday, July 22 because you’ll learn how communities can reverse drought and restore their ecosystems, even while living in poverty. We'll also be sharing an opportunity to help fund water catchment systems in South Africa and India during the webinar.
