About the Project

FIRE strengthens water security in drought-prone villages by restoring local water systems, training village water committees, and creating long-term community-led conservation models.

Problem Statement

Recurring drought cycles and falling groundwater levels reduce crop output, trigger distress migration, and increase health risks due to unsafe water access.

Solution Model

A village-level water resilience model combining Jal Mandir structures, check-dams, contour trenches, and governance training for local maintenance teams.

Activities & Programs

1 Hydrology mapping and baseline studies
2 Jal Mandir construction and recharge pits
3 village watershed planning workshops
4 water-use governance training
5 seasonal maintenance drives
