Since 1982 he has worked with over 1,000 villages to bring back to life the Arvari River in Rajasthan, India. With community efforts reviving traditional water harvesting structures, they restored the watersheds within the entire region, and brought the dry river back to a perennially flowing stream, and recharging the aquifers of the entire region.
I had the chance to catch up with him at the Global Earth Repair Conference in May of 2019, and asked him a few questions I'd been wondering about:

1) What do you say to the villagers when you speak to them for the first time?
2) Tell us about when the people get together and build water harvesting structures.
3) What can Americans learn from India about how people can come together?
