JAL RAKSHAK FORUM

Jyoti Sharma, President FORCE posted this in Events, Jal Rakshak on June 2nd, 2009

To celebrate World Environment Day, Forum For Organized Resource Conservation and Enhancement (FORCE) – an NGO dedicated to the cause of Water Conservation- is organizing a One day workshop on June 6, 2009 from 9.30 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. at Institute of Social Sciences, 8, Nelson Mandela Marg. The workshop is titled:

COMMUNITY LEADERS IN RAINWATER HARVESTING

JAL RAKSHAKS TO CHART THE WAY FORWARD

The Workshop is being supported by Coca-Cola India. The agenda of this interactive workshop will be

1) Knowledge sharing with experts and Community leaders on Rainwater Harvesting Experiences

2) Capacity Building for Rainwater harvesting maintenance and ensuring its sustainability

And, perhaps most important,

3) Creating a JAL RAKSHAK FORUM which will act as a nucleus group to broad base adoption of Water Wise behaviours, practices and implementation of innovative water conservation solutions in their areas. This Forum will organize mass awareness activities, cultural programs and interaction with government bodies for water conservation. We hope that it will become a pressure group for mass adoption of Water Wise behaviours by all stakeholders and for policy change in the government.

A Directory of ‘JAL RAKSHAKS’ who participate in this workshop – printed and electronic – will be compiled and presented to the Chief Minister, and relevant administrative bodies and to all JAL RAKSHAKs. This directory will be a ready reference for government and citizens for taking advice on water related issues.

As a Community Leader, who has already done Rainwater Harvesting in his / her area, you have already proven that you are a JAL RAKSHAK. Let’s all, join hands to form a unified forum and be the fountainhead of a Water Conservation movement.

I request you to join us for this interactive workshop so that we can learn more from each other and jointly decide on the way forward for the JAL RAKSHAK FORUM.

Hi, Everyone!
Recently in First week of October there is lot of rain in Southern India e.g., in karnataka, Maharashtra. My Question is that there is lot of Rain water Can we utilized this water for agricultural or any other purposes? Because Water is still there. And I know we can utilized this water with help of Indian navy and Indian airforce(I do not know how but i know they can do it because of us are very talented people) such as in Rajasthan or any other Northern India where lot of wells have dried up or where there is deficiency of rain. We can also dig pot of cubicle or rectangular side, put plastic cover over it so water does not go to ground and then it can be utilized properly. This is the one method i have suggested but i hope more methods can be utilized to use this precious rain water for all of us. We can also use it for drinking purposes by mean of boiling it in big container at particular temperature. Then utilize it after cooling. We can get good clean water for our daily purposes. Thanks for understanding my idea. But it will be great when it will be done.
