Planting the Rain to Grow Abundance

Brad’s TEDxTucson talk, Planting the Rain to Grow Abundance

This green oasis is a drought-proof village in Rajasthan

A video on the village and villagers of Laporiya (featured as a case study in the Introduction of Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond, Volume 2, 2nd Edition), and how they turned water scarcity into water abundance by harvesting the rain and revegetating their watershed.

But almost everyone let the vast majority of that rain drain away! For them, the drought continues. But for those who planted and harvested the rain, the drought ended where water has deeply infiltrated and abundance has been renewed!
