Featured innovation

The Doha Model: a water revolution

Our award-winning Doha Model is a low-cost rainwater harvesting structure dug into the stream bed itself. It captures monsoon runoff, recharges groundwater and holds enough water for a second crop. Over 3,000 have been built across Maharashtra.

  • Innovative rainwater harvesting structure
  • 475 km of streams treated
  • 95 villages made tanker-free
  • 1 metre rise in groundwater levels
  • Cost-effective and community-driven
  • Scalable across drought-prone regions
