In Maharashtra, the team has rejuvenated 37 rivers/streams, built 23,600+ structures that have benefitted 20,75,000+ people, and de-silted 2,39,00,000+ cubic meters in 27 districts influencing 941 sq. The project has impacted 22 rivers and streams in the state and benefited 13,000+ villages. Kumudvathi, Vedavathi, Palar, and some partially covered river basins are being revived in Karnataka. There have been praises about the effort, with the Hon'ble PM himself mentioning the work of these women in his telecast of 'Mann Ki Baat'. The river, which was dry for about 50 years, today flows for more than 600 days.
km catchment area by constructing 5,000+ recharge wells and 1,000+ boulder checks. Impact and Results in Various States of India The Art of Living has successfully revived The Naganadhi River in Tamil Nadu with the help of 44,000 women volunteers who worked diligently to make the uphill task possible.
#Quick flood barrier full
There are innumerable examples of dried rivers/streams now flowing in full swing after the intervention of The Art of Living River Rejuvenation Project. The benevolence of the project has benefitted the lives of 3.45 crore people. Planted 7,00,000+ trees along the river basins and built around 95,000+ structures. has been under the influence, with work-in-progress in 8 states. The project contributes significantly to India's water security, rejuvenating 70 rivers and streams. Recharge Wells along the suitable stream network accelerates the natural process of groundwater recharge, and Subsurface Dyke, as a barrier built below the ground in the active channel (permeable zone), prevents the base flow from flowing downstream and enhances the water level on the upstream side. The methodology focuses on constructing Boulder Checks to reduce the runoff velocity of rainwater, Recharge Shafts in ponds for water conservation through rainwater harvesting, and tree plantation to reduce soil erosion & increase soil moisture. The multi-pronged approach consists of extensive community mobilization and capacity building, afforestation, construction of groundwater recharge structures, soil conservation measures, area and drainage line treatment, and sustainable agriculture. The team does detailed research and analysis before implementing the solution at various levels.
Multi-pronged Approach Under the guidance of Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, the River Rejuvenation Projects team was formed to create a long-lasting solution to the groundwater crisis. To combat the situation, The Art of Living has been proactively working for a decade with a team of scientists, geologists, and many other experts, along with numerous volunteers, working together to revive river basins across India. Experts opine that by 2025, the country will face an acute water crisis if any preventive measures are not taken.
Rivers that flowed throughout the year have become seasonal due to decreased water flow among the tributaries. The situation has gradually reached an alarming level. Around 54% of the sub-continent is said to have turned into a water-stressed dust bowl with many rivers rapidly drying up. The looming water crisis calls for immediate attention and quick action.
