Thanks to you Andrew and the Pani foundation we are copying the Water cup competition here in Mizque, Bolivia. We are presently translating some of your videos into Quechua and will send them to you once done. If ever you wish to visit Bolivia you will receive a warm welcome and have a place to stay. Blessings

[@amillison]

Thanks and great news. Where in Bolivia are you? Please send me an email: [e-mail] with Quechua translations. I will put subtitles on my KZbin if you make an srt file for translations. Thanks so much! 🙏🙏🙏

[@Kaiwaipermaculturebolivia]

@@amillison we are in the department of Cochabamba. Rainy season is our summer Nov to March. Very similar climate, agricultural economy and situation to the village featured in the Water crisis video. I will email you with the translations as they are made. Thank you Andrew. Your videos bring tears of joy and appreciation to many.

[@ud1976]

It’s truly amazing to read this. I was recently in Peru and we were struck with how similar the rural landscapes and culture seem to Indian ones. Good luck!

[@suneetsalvi1200]

Wishing you the very Best in Bolivia, it is an idea worth copying. Any help to the ecosystem anywhere on the planet is a big to mother earth and mankind.

Absolutely amazing!

I really love your series in India. Makes me know that we can change our world with hard work and cooperation..

[@zeideerskine3462]

This is actually the way India became the rich country it once was. Already in the late seventies and early eighties many gurus said it would be good to go back to the ancient ways when most people could be content and the few very rich people enjoyed sharing and generosity.

[@himanv]

That's because Dharma = sustainability. It doesn't even teaches it, it just is. And Hinduism's own name for itself is "Sanatana Dharma" or Everlasting Dharma. Dharma comes from the root word Dhar which means that which upholds... dharma is simply all that which upholds existence of life on this planet. Gurus, Rishis, Saints over thousands of years have simply observed things that uphold better living and talked about it before someone wrote it down. Yoga, meditation, vegetarian (satvik) lifestyle, the entire gamut of ideas of Sanatana Dharma are working toward the same goal. :)

[@zeideerskine3462]

Indeed. That is why it is a shame it took until the seventies for the rest of the world to actually visit the ashrams and learn about dharma. However, Indians themselves bought into the new hybrid seeds and pest control and, most of all, the silly types of modern water management that dried up a country famous for its water abundance.

[@harryniedecken5321]

In most places in the world this is called slavery or indentured servitude.

[@zeideerskine3462]

Actually, no. That is because in this kind of economic system the few super rich would use their funds to sponsor excellence and beauty. The exploitative spirit has taken over hundreds of years ago but the original idea was that a royal family was just prancing around the otherwise useless riches like excessively ornate clothing and jewelry for the people's enjoyment and so that they do not have to. The royal court was a center of excellence where people could pursue and teach arts and crafts at the highest levels that could inspire village crafts people but would not be particularly practical at all levels of utility. In short, in the old system people cooperated for their joint good and the center of excellence did not have immediate power over the means of production. That means the absolute opposite of slavery except maybe for the royal family. However, that too, may be used to push narcissist and sycophants there and out of the rest of the people's way. The problem humanity faces right now is the concept of ownership and money. Have you ever tried to eat money? Live in money? Wear money?

Thank you Jeff. You guys are the reason we do this. :) Stay tuned for more to come soon!

[@rajbaniwal3236]

I watched your series three years ago. I also watched your video about the “5 biggest water harvesting projects” where I think all were in India. I was so desperate to see how everything has evolved since. For some reason, there’s not much info available on these projects. Paani foundation has stopped creating videos in English, they have stopped creating success stories, they do a lot of “better farming” gigs in Marathi but water is the key. I am thrilled that you will cover a before / after scenario. Thank you.

[@sanketheda9578]

If we can do it, then anyone on the planet can do it! Kudos to you Andrew for covering it and showing the water restoration work in India to a wider audience. This will inspire a whole new generation of water harvesters around the world ❤ Love this brother 😍

Wow...being an Indian I don't know so much work was afoot for preserving water and nature. Thx for sharing such content hope the world can come together for positive impact on environment rather than the filthy politics and wars the political leaders are driving the world to. Looking at all the comments on your videos it's evident civilians care about environment than govts know. Keep inspiring....

[@theh2ohammer372]

Really looking forward to this. I have been living in the high plains of New Mexico, for about 6 years now, and no one seems to really be thinking about water management in a sustainable way. This area has been in drought for many years. In this area the average rainfall should be about 17", but it's been in drought for 15 years now, 2 summers ago, we just 4" of rain. And the aquaphor is being depleted faster then it can recharge, it dropped 12" last year, and only gained 1" back.

[@cybersafezone]

Thanks so much, Andrew for covering this not so explored water rehabilitation projects across India. It is incredible, the transformation of landscapes speaks for itself. You have no idea how much you are contributing to the rural development of India. Its just the tip of the iceberg. Imagine if all of India comes together and effectively utilizes the power of water !!. Let's hope that happens in the foreseeable future. Once again heartfelt thanks for your efforts. I wish India's 1.4 so billion people would acknowledge the importance of these projects and actively participate in them in whatever way they can!

Rajasthan and Maharashtra are the two states are making the most progress in conserving water in my country. I watched the prediction how most of India would turn into a a heated mess in the next 30 years. I'm also contributing in my own way and educating people on the same. The best part is the poorer the people are - the more they are accepting meanwhile,the richer the people are - the more reluctant they are to hear anything innovative.

[@b_uppy]

@@amillison I am a definite fan of that.

[@b_uppy]

@Disabled-Megatron I absolutely agree. I try to raise awareness online whenever I see people dealing with drought, drylands, flooding, etc. Bill Gates is the biggest offender in the US despite his eco-posturing. Gates uses conventional agricultural methods then raises meat in a lab, all for profit. He greenwashes all of this while greenwashing his jetting around as well. His methods are a big offender.
