Introduction

Water is a precious resource for all living beings on this Earth. Our planet is called the Blue Planet because of water. Water forms part of hydrosphere which interacts with the lithosphere and atmosphere to create the beautiful zone called biosphere where we live.

As per geographers, globally same amount of water is available on the Earth since time immemorial. But due to rapid rise in demand, overexploitation of water, and water pollution, we are facing water stress. Without water, life is not possible. That is why, water conservation is the need of hour.

Dhara’s Vision and Mission

We aim to reinvigorate spirit of reverence for water as was prevalent in the ancient past. We aim to make enough water available not only for present generation but also for future generations.
