India's Water Revolution #2: The Biggest Permaculture Project on Earth! with the Paani Foundation 

You are spot on.

A big farm can't really do this, because these trenches would be too inconvenient to work with heavy machines.

1Maklak the trenches that I have observed in Maharashtra are on uncropped land on hillsides. There are some “water farms” where they give up some arable area for pond construction but haven’t seen structures in the farms themselves

@P lmao they do caloric intake studues 1k years ago?

That's why panjab and Haryana have desertification, air pollution and water shortages.

All the best! Looking forward to a beautiful lush world!!

Biochar is the best and only treatment that is more or less permanent. Adding organic material is great but a very small amount of that material becomes humus which is what lasts a long time, the rest breaks down relatively fast, a few years and 90% of that material is gone. Whereas nearly 100% of biochar mass will remain in the soil, and is far more able to house microbial life, which is in turn what makes soil fertile. Amazonian Terra Preta is what it is largely due to biochar. Just remember, when using biochar, to charge it first (or expect stunted growth the first year). After you make a batch, or empty a purchased bag into a tote, make sure its sufficiently pulverized, and then throw a fairly heavy amount of fertilizer, preferably organic, such as tomato-tone, and mx it around a little before you water it in a bit. Then you let it sit for a week or so before applying

The media is the same everywhere, garbage.

ohh that's sad, Ahir, but now youknow :) Lot of city dwellers, IT, Military professionals are joining " shramadaan" during these 45 days of competition. Thereby breaking the socio barriers . Humans establishing selfless connections is an added gift !

The media all over the world loves disaster and hates good news.

Looks like some say local media shows it. Global media is likely owned by same people...banks & churches/"the powers"

Media will not publish otherwise they get benefits for it.

Modiji started this idea of building water table in Gujarat. If humans work together, we can achieve, heaven on earth. But there are human who wants heaven for themselves by hurting others. Our thinking must change. If our heart is good, God will speak to us from everywhere, if heart is evil, satan will talk even from scriptures. It is the mind and consciousness that matters.

Thank you brother

Thanks my brother from Pakistan. We both have one thing in common good people and bad politicians, your leaders/politician might be even worse, but the people continues to remain good the World will be a better place .

Yet they still shit in street and in rivers and leave trash everywhere. Big innovation is not shitting in rivers people drink from.

@@tralfazz7579 it's a stereotype. Shitting in river is prohibited by religion as well as culture. Shitting in open fields and forest in cultural practice. This practice is very common all around the world. It becomes problematic when population grows so much. Hence our govt is trying hard for banning this practice in modern time. But again you can't generalise this idea all over India. There are many places with very less population and some tribal autonomous regions too. It's better to shit outside of your home far away in the open. Good for nature too 😊😊

@@tralfazz7579 try it sometime.... It's fun 🤣🤣

@@tralfazz7579 -I agree. it's not as pristine society as it used to be. But my friend when the pie is too small discipline goes for a toss. Recent most example is homeless on streets in right here in Los Angeles, CA a month ago in April ( source, CNN ) were defecating in streets, front of peoples houses..they had no choice due to ' shelter in place' orders. We are privileged to sail through tough times, not everybody get options to choose from.

@@tralfazz7579 I would love to know where are You from

it also depends on their monsoons

if you think this is some new idea you are wrong things like these have done all over the world thousands of years, those might be bit different but still...

@@freezedeve3119 but with new technology it can be done in areas where it was very diffcault before.

@@freezedeve3119 it's not a competition buddy!

Agree! Dr. Pol is the moving force and the source of all knowledge. Paani Foundation is only taking credit

@@Likit257 UpisNotJump, Hbomberguy, OCC, Not Just Bikes, Climate-Town, Some More News, Second Thought, and Simon Clark. Hope my List makes someone happy.

its not about doing, if you do something for people, they dont respect that. they must do it, they must understand to care for it

​@@Likit257oh that's because paani foundation got the results and moreover Amir khan, is muslim, Pakistan, anti national, love jihad, kabrastaan, shamshan, IAS jihad, education jihad, puncture wala, water jihad, modi is God. blah blah blah....

All that, but with the caveat that the dusty desert is one of their own making (even though western companies have had a hand or three in it as well). As for the democracy, well, with centralized media and religious fearmongering it gets you someone like modi, who is basically hindu-hitler trying hard to go to war with pakistan. This is not developed by a well functioning democratic state, this is the work of a random bollywood star and local initiative.

@@aenorist2431 Hindu-Hitler trying to go war with Pakistan? Ha ha how funny you are. To be honest if someterrorist from one country came & kill 200s of your citizens, then you must not do anything against them & bow head & welcome again for another terrorist attack according to you . Well after 9/11 America start a war against terrorism but at the same time 26/11 Mumbai attack india didn't did anything but approach diplomacy & show to world about culprits. Well whole world knows which country citizens get involved in 26/11 terrorist attack except some peoples like you, even David headly which is another culprit for supplying map/drone video footage now in US jail. Well he's a Pakistan origin American citizens. In 26/11 attack these terrorist attacked narimon house, which is a little house for Israel people. Terrorist which is caught alive accepted that orders from their akka(terrorist handler) was if you killed one Judaism then it will equal to kill 10 hindu. But still they are called terrorist but not a radical islamist, but if any one question or talk about it then these terrorist sympathy people will call you Islamophobia. It's bitter truth man. But still we are staying happily with 200milion islam followers Indian citizens for n number of decade.(none this kind of multi faith country you found in this 'world ', even looking to Chinese & their treatment with uighur Islam followers, even there's bann on name 'Mohammed ', latest satellite images where clearly seen large number of "detection camp" & destroying 'domb' structural houses, repainting with Chinese communists style. But still non of the OIC Islamic country raised any objection. 1million Islam followers there, shame on their so called Islamic nation) I'm a Hindu, i will never accept hindu-india. We do believe in secular india. But at the same time if a country which is based on islamic religion send their jihadi to kill our citizens then they will called terrorist but why not radical islamic terrorist? There are 1.3bilion Hindus in world but how much hindu-national there? But what about islam & other religion there n number of country where islam is state religion even if you want to get citizenship you must be an islam followers otherwise you can't, even their state of the head must be a islam follower. But if we ask questions on it so we are called Islamophobia. Great then go to hell, we are proud for our country & proud for a such a diversity multi faith world largest democracy, "DEMOCRACY ". Talking about this projects i know although we have more GDP than France & UK still we face such types of problems, that's because of ours colonial era rules & regulations & paper work which leads delay & even cancel more project. Another one there's low GDP per capital income which is another abstraction for Being self sufficient. Well It will solved in another one or two decade completely. Well thanks

@@aenorist2431 - I believe creator of this video wants us to show, what a collective effort by common people fighting against odds can achieve for fellow humans and fragile eco systems. Let's leave rest of discussion for other forums.

@@aenorist2431 You are high on weed. Get your facts right.

@@aenorist2431 It is not the work of Any star, Star ain't coming to dig it. Ain't provided the much of funds which they recover in getting their movies tax free. that is one, Second, Whether Modi is Hitler or not, we can't say if he is creating fearful env, can't say..but surely I can say that he is for taking up challenges for the betterment of local people's lives. As it is said, It's best to have a smart enemy than a stupid friend. Nevertheless, he ain't telling anyone to go and kill others..it all those "illiterate people who do that out of stupidity" Now I will be biased and say that some religions do not believe in science..only in their own Damn books and bla bla.

Yes it is called God's creation. What is actually going on here is man restoring what he destroyed. Better late than never. No if only other nations would get on board, we might all have a better future to look forward to.

Right

So what kinda strip mine site was that ha, good thing or bad, I do t know, epa would freak for sure though, hale Trump

Great project indeed... Very good

You're right, I don't think centralizing things ever really worked.

Wouldn't it be nice it be nice if we didn't have to worry about food, water, and other necessities?

Awesome Mahesh !.. spread the word and take the good work to other non- participating villages. all the best.

Guys you are going to face huge water scarcity in future, better start working as early as possible. Big rivers and huge dams can't support your increasing population for long. Best wishes.

you just need to light that fire inside the people. good luck mate

Start harvesting water, pakistan do not have any river ecosystem geographically, the early you start the safer future will be

I think you would like to see greening the desert Project from Geoff Lawton or the regenerative Project of Jesús León Santos and CEDICAM in Sierra Mixteca of Oaxaca, México.

Of course you can find videos of projects like this in Africa, China, Arabic countries... perma culture is one of the main pillars of our future

It takes a lot of cooperation to achieve regional effects in one go. But anybody with an acre or more can apply these dry-land principles on a small scale and green up their own little corner of paradise.

Yep any where

@Daniel Hughes It's only been up 16 days. I think we'll get there :-)

Being a muslim, doesn't calling earth "mother" make you pagan?

well said Kaamran, mobilising entire villages is no easy task..Aamir khan chose right partner here, Satyajit Bhatkal who is CEO of Paani Foundation. the man behind putting perfect designing and execution team.

@@KneelBeforeBlue So you will mess with people like him? Just because of his name? Is he supposed to be a spokesperson for anyone? By the same logic, are you some grand mufti or pope to get into people's beliefs or expressions without any context? Think

Mother is fine.

Hi guys, Been a while since I'd seen this video and commented. Nice to know and see people mustering around a great cause. And sorry, saw comments only today.. Dunno how I missed them. Extremely grateful to see water reaching the hinterlands. From a religious perspective as Anand here has asked I'd like to reply with all due respect that religion was supposed to make life easy for mankind. Along the way if it looks like a pain it is because it was hijacked by satanical nut cases or at least people influenced by such nut cases... Am speaking about my home pitch problems... I belive in calling a spade a spade. 'Do not make people loath religion' -Prophet Muhammad (God's peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The best of what a man leaves behind are three: a righteous child who supplicates for him, ongoing charity the reward of which reaches him, and knowledge that is acted upon after him.” All Islam says is do good, don't harm, give everybody and everything it's rightful place.. Worship the supreme, formless, nirankar creator and none of the creation. I don't see anything wrong in calling my earth my mother.. I came from her, she feeds me by the leave of God and I shall return to her lap one day.. . . Until then I need to walk humbly in the earth. Allah says: “And turn not your face away from men with pride, nor walk in insolence through the earth. Verily, God likes not each arrogant boaster.” (Qur’an, 31:18)

Yes! People can really learn all over the world from the work of the Paani Foundation and all of the volunteers who made such an epic and massive transformation of the landscape, water cycle, and economy.

Where are u come to mahashramadan means which village and taluka and which year

why are you so quick to point fingers?

So true 😉

@@nou1438 he's not pointing fingers he's telling the truth of what media has become .

True

:( sad truth! Media are like carrions and vultures - they feed off the death and destruction!

Yes of course it can, anywhere in the world.

Don't you have rain forests there?

ofcourse it can be. it just needs a team of like minded people. Just to let you know Paani foundation is almost a 100 % "volunteer" work. the villagers "Donated" their time and effort to make this possible. Men women children came out in hoards to chip in. a small group of women also created "cooking camps" where they cooked for all the volunteers so that nobody even takes a break to go back to their respective homes for food.

We need to fix people habits for throwing trash everywhere first. Before doing that🤦🤦

Yes

I am a marketing student and have similar intentions.. hope we can work together someday

Same here

Thanku💖from india

Paani foundation program was super hit due to media coverage. Stop blaming and update urself

good management can change anything

Harvesting rainwater is illegal in my part of Texas. The laws protect utility companies profits $$$

That's a tragedy..

Thanks Akshay. Dr. Pol is an inspiration. I saw this article recently about the work he is doing during the lockdown to help farmers get their products to the buyers: www.foundingfuel.com/article/the-satara-uprising/ So his work extends in many directions. Hopefully many people will see his good work through these videos.

All the best Andrew🙏

Well, to be more realistic, projects like these are designed around local landscape and climate, might not be replicable to everywhere in the world.

ABP majha is the official media partner. Which had continue coverage. Hindu-Muslim things happen in bimaru area not in ours.

For your information, Amir khan is just the front face. Go and research about people like Anna Hazard, Popatrao Pawar and Dr. Avinash Pol. They are pioneers of this program. Then comes our people, Government and officers who toiled for the cause.
