- Permaculture instructor Andrew Millison journeys to India to film the epic work of the Paani Foundation’s Water Cup Competition and Farmer's Cup Competition. We tour the village of Savargaon Tal, in Maharashtra, who competed in the 2019 competition to install the most amount of water harvesting structures in a 45 day period, and competed had farmer's groups compete in the Farmers Cup Competition in 2023. Guided by Paani Foundation’s chief advisor, Dr. Avinash Pol, we visit the work and see the effects of a watershed-scale groundwater restoration project that has dramatically improved the lives, economy, ecology and stability of this village, and experience the feeling of deep stability that comes with a healthy and abundant landscape.

I live in Maharashtra and I'm a water conservation engineer. As a subscriber, I feel so proud seeing this video. Pani foundation is the main inspiration for me for transperant and effective colab working. I'd suggest you make another video showing how pani foundation and water cup competition are held how they are scaling up. Training part be covered in detail. Awesome video btw.🎉
I would love to see that video idea!
I would love to visit during the water cup competition and film the process. Right now they have not run that competition since 2019. But I believe that now that Paani has figured out the full cycle of education, from Water Cup to Prosperous Village to Farmer's Cup, they will go back to the Water Cup competition to get more villages beginning the process.
That’s so exciting!❤
Awesome video
@@amillison - wish so. Many good initiatives are derailed due to political interventions in the past.
Why isn't this being celebrated and repeated world wide? Amazing!
Because western media will not let go of there colonial mentality and supress every positive news. They would rather do stories of drought rather then people solving there problems
YES! We NEED to do this as a GLOBAL GAMES EVENT!!!😆
First we start here locally. We coordinate doing one in each state. OOOOOOooo! They already have obstacle course racing going on. We could pitch an idea to these companies that host these and organize an event where land is sectioned off by the local government that has unused land and it's the Water Cup Challenge. Boom!
It is already done in Europe, US, and Massively in China. India benefit the most because the land been neglected by colonial power
@@trinsitseventy years of independence and land degradation
We need to be doing this all over the planet!
The whole economy needs to be based on these sort of things.
Right? My 1st thought was California, but everywhere is seeing water table issues, soil issues.
@@JasonMullavey And if you know much about the history of California you know that is going to be a hard fought battle. The government already went through this while they set up the California Aquaduct basically cutting off water to tons of farms. A lot of laws were set up making this basically illegal. Even harvesting rainwater here was illegal up until 2012ish
to Andrew: can you suggest organisations in South Africa?
All really!!!
Hey Andrew,
I am also a farmer from Maharashtra and have loved following your work with these villages.
Just a humble suggestion to add Hindi and Marathi subtitles/audio to your videos for better reach. It would make it easier to share this information with locals here :)
I would very much like to. I am talking to someone about dubbing into Hindi, but now it looks like AI may be able to do that easily. So keep on checking and hopefully this will be done. The first series does have Hindi and Marathi subtitles already
Hey Andrew,
I am not a voice artist, but I can dub your videos in Hindi, as you are bringing such quality video which can be so informative for Farmers and people of my country so for me it will be a community service, as I can’t make quality video as you, but at least can make it available for everyone…
Again Kudos for doing such amazing work Man..🫡
I dream of a world where suburbia is designed more like this. Thanks for your continued excellent work!
I think about this same thing too, especially after I learned that the total area dedicated to lawns in the United States is not too dissimilar to the area dedicated to horticultural production. Just gotta deal with those anti-biotic HOAs first 😅
me too
The modern suburbia isn't ever going to be viable but railroad suburbs (towns with transport connections) are cute
This needs to be done in the western areas if the USA and for all farm lands.
But they kill all the cows for their meat. From where will they get the manure?
Bangalore needs this now
Banglore is doing already it takes time
Then create CCT In your balcony crazy man 🤣
@@abhishekligade knew some dumb head will respond. No point in telling you anything cos your brains in your head seems to be sucked out by aliens.
no let water learn kanada XD
@@nimeshbpatel23Issue is while creating an IT hub they messed up with the land trees and nature.
Go India. Best Country in the Word
Nice joke
Despite of poverty we are trying hard to preserve nature and biography thank you for your kind words
Visit our beautiful country ☺️
I LOVE your videos on the Indian Water Revolution!
As someone in Maharashtra, I am so proud of these villages!
I am an Australian - I am also are so proud of what they are doing. A new way of thinking - Huge amounts of effort by the people and great returns from it. The hills are brown but the fields are green.
I'd be tempted to emigrate there tbh.
I imagine in the years to come, as the villages grow prosperous, they'll be able to reforest the hills, bringing even more abundance to the area. Great video, Andrew!
I am from maharashtra and feel so proud about the feat. Thank you very much for putting oht these videos so that the world knows about what unity and consistent efforts with the help of natural and organic methods can do to a barren drought stricken land within a short period of time. May the world prosper with the message of paani foundation. Water is wealth❤
The news are always so negative, giving the impression that everything is downhill. But in reality, amazing stories like these happen in so many places. There needs to be more reporting of positive things!
I'm so proud of these villages.
Mother Earth is so forgiving. Imagine you do the right thing and she responds with abundance. Why does the average person not apply these simple principles to their daily life. What you sow you reap!! Amazing Amazing Amazing!!!
Greed and entitlement from white people
I am a Maharashtrian, ( same place the video is about ) and stay in a city fed by three large dams. .. meaning water surplus....
But the practices of hoodlums as farmers with large tracts of lands in government positions are running the state dry. They flood their lands with open furrows leading to loss by evaporation and percolation (this isn't by way of rains , which would have been beneficial as it would recharge ground water) Add to them the blasted city dwellers who have such pigheaded people who waste water as a matter of inheritance! ( Having "bought" their rights to use water in toilets the way they want🤬😵💫☠️ ! ) The amount of water flushed down toilets in pigeon-hole apartments is enough to aquify several sq km of arabel land! This water is actually drinking water ! Extreme sacrilege.
When you wrote "mother nature is so forgiving.." I had tears in my eyes! We got to stop taking nature for granted.
Am a grown man who has seen a lot in these past 5 decades of my existence on earth. And we are not being kind to ourselves..at all. Nature has a way to deal, and I shudder at the consequences!
Just venting my frustrations! Hope no harm done!
The most amazing part of all of this is that somehow they created an approach that would inspire huge numbers of people to work together against a common goal…and that was before having the amazing examples that are now available to inspire future communities- I’ve never seen anything like it !!! Deep respect from Canada 🇨🇦
This is not the first time something like this has happened in India. I recall back in the mid-1980s watching an Open University TV series here in the UK called Wheels of Fire about sustainable development initiatives in rural India and the episode that I still remember something of was about the now quite famous Mulkanoor Cooperative and the Milk Production Revolution that occurred in India [which is now the world's largest milk producer]. The rise of anti-Collectivist NeoLiberalism in the West after Thatcher and Reagan has reinforced the hyper-individualist ethos and apotheosis of political economy as the be all and end-all of society in the modern West leading to such unsustainable emphasis on wasteful and polluting growth, housing crises etc.
Of course, prior to the British colonial parasitization, deindustrialization , creation of dozens of manmade faines and looting of tens of trillions of dollars in wealth and false propaganda image-making of India as a land of Eternal Poverty, India was famed throughout the Old World for its vast wealth and abundance of produce etc. Indeed, not only was India the world's largest and richest economy just prior to British occupation, economic historian Angus Maddiosn estimated, that India was the world's largest economey for well over 3/4 of the last 2,000 years.
@@sutapasbhattacharya9471 obviously you know what you’re talking about! Very interesting insight - It looks like Vandana Shiva has been a key figure in fighting attempts from the US to ‘hijack’ the Indian agricultural system, what is your take on that?
@@willm5814 Unfortunately YT just deleted my lengthy response and I did not back it up it up - probably due to self-referential info. I will try resending my response to someone else from the USA which I made just before I saw your response to me:
Although knoll9812 is largely correct in pinpointing the difference between India and the USA at the moment, there is a shift occurring in the USA and West in general emanating originally from India. That shift is related to the New Age Movement and the cross-over of the new Yoga-based Spirituality without Religion - with its interconnectedness to all things [contra the Judaeo-Christian Theist myths of human separation from Nature etc.] in terms of 'Ecospirituality' etc. Many of the best-connected US researchers into Consciousness-related phenomena and UAP etc. understand that we need a new Science based on the Primacy of Consciousness [i.e. equivalent to the traditional Indian Brahmanism - Harvard professor John Newport wrote that New Age essentially boils down to All is One - the universe is interconnected Consciousness/Energy - or Brahmanism. This new science will reverse the false despiritualization of Nature by modern Science based on the Christian Spirit/Nature dualism and and Galileo's false doctrine of Qualities which rejected conscious experience as supposedly unreal! I know about this because I myself am leading the way with my work synthesizing Science and Spirituality which has excited scholars worldwide [mainly in the USA].
The Western emphasis on hyper-individualism and apotheosis of political economy and GDP growth as the be-all and end-all of society is being challenged already. In the longer term the rise of Asia will accelerate the shift away from Western exemplars to a more sustainable, collectivist approach.
My second attempt seems to respond seems to have worked. I was also pointing out that the new Ecospirituality thought recognizes the need to reverse the Spirit/Nature Dualism of the West in order to address properly the environmental and sustainability crises. The likes of French Orientalist Guy Sorman has argued that, contrary to the Communist Party of China myth that Chinese ideas will become increasingly relevant [whereas China has eradicated it own traditions and become devoured by the West] - as many thinkers of the 20th Century such as Sorman's mentor Roman Rolland, Carl Jung and Arnold Toynbee - along with the likes of Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay (the father of Indian Nationalism) and Nehru argued - we need to blend Western Science with the Spiritual Genius of India. Sorman thinks that the Indian ideas that will dominate the globe will be Gandhian sustainable development ideas and eco-feminism [in the sense of the Feminine within all humans which Hinduism emphasizes]. But others have argued that it will be the rise of Indian Spirituality which will transprm the 21st Century.
I am primarily a metaphysician who has synthesized Science and Mysticism and thus can confirm the latter as my work has recently been exciting directors of Consciousness Research Institutes across the USA and India etc. and scholars worldwide. The primary influence of such a synthesis and Universal Spiritual Philosophy based on NonDual Brahmanism and Buddhism is to undermine not only Physicalism-Materialism - but all Theistic Religion which imagines a Divinity separate from Nature and Humanity - opening the way for a Universal Civilization. The overthrow of Materialism with its false Multitudinism (separate particles or atoms) which arose with Capitalism (the Medici sponsored Galileo etc.) and shift to Oneness/interconnectedness will undermine the dharmic societal reflections of such materialism with its Transactionalism - exchanges of energy between distinct entities - as reflected by monetary transactionalsim with the apotheosis of the Capitalist god - the Invisible Hand of teh Free Market.
Look up "Undermining the Walls of the Ivory Towers of White Mythology".
You can also look up Jason Hickel India for startling stuff about what the British did in India.
Thirst and Hunger are the best top 5 motivators
I am so proud of these people..I love the foundation and the skills of your work..your vids too
Bharat rising 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Yes bharat is redeveloping now ❤❤
I am eagerly waiting for these works that will create prosperity in African continent.if any organisations will start there ,we can eradicate poverty from Africa .
The weird part is; Afrika is the wealthiest continent in resources. Afrika is only poor because of corrupt politicians that are bought by global commercial enterprises..
Peoples revolution does not need political initiative. Democracy means that the nation and its government is of the people for the people and by the people... so why give responsibility to the government and forget your responsibilities and a citizen after you vote once in 5 years. Its only after participation of each individual that a noticeable change occurs. May the people of africa realise this soon and cause a revolution in each and every african nation. Wakanda forever
I just returned from Senegal and will be making a series from there
anything like this in nevada? @@amillison
Politicians are a reflection of the masses. It the people who will have to introspect what they are lacking in education. @@Amadon247
Andrew, the work of Paani Foundation will make you Addicted to visit more and more villages year after year.......
Yeah, I will never run out and f villages to visit!
I am proud to be a JalMitr. Thanks Paani Foundation
Seriously amazing, simple but large scale. And incredible to watch my own kids so naturally want to create dams, little ponds and streams. It is their favorite activity.
8:00 you sir have mastered the Indian head nod!
"I followed nature." best quote!❤
I am a Marathi living abroad. This makes so proud of my people. Creative ingenuity hard working nature and humility of my people and Indian villagers is commendable.
andrew, this has to be one of your best episodes. i found it incredibly emotional and inspiring. i can only imagine how exhilarating and satisfying and empowering it must be for all the people living there!
Thank you for another amazing video! I was very happy to see the empowerment of women was a part of this!
Brilliant, Andrew! Thank you for making this available to all of us.
We need to educate the young - are children being involved in this process? How? How do we prevent them from chasing city life and be fulfilled so that this dream doesn't fade with time?
People in India always connected to nature as we pray to every single component of nature rivers animals trees that's why children also take part in these works
I think for western countries you should try to connect children to nature emotionally it is the only solution, we are trying our best to preserve nature despite of poverty
i love this series. it gives me a little hope for the future, which is something that's hard to come by these days.
It's feels so good that the hard work my people have put to improve not just their own lives but also Bharat's situation too, has started to get international recognition too.
Something tells me the Gates Foundation and other lobbyists would find a way to shut down such methods in the US. I'd be willing to test this theory.
@@ronniemcmaster8657 But they can't stop people from using these techniques and technologies for their lands and for their communities
@@bizarreworld2510 They can in the US and any other country to which they have lobbyists. All it takes is a wiggle of the pen to sign a new law labeling the water harvesting feature as stealing from another's water rights of list the change as being harmful to an endangered species in the area.
@@ronniemcmaster8657 so u need another enlightenment round as always from India but you will have to adopt dharma karma teachings first and u have hare Krishna community find them
@@ronniemcmaster8657I hate those wicked humans so much
"Follow the Nature"
I love how its as simple as taking into account the diversity of the land and using it to your advantage. These towns seem like havens amongst a world so disconnected from its roots
I have loved this series. Seeing people take some knowledge and turn around their situation, is so inspiring.
A wonderful story. Thanks for sharing and to the Pani Foundation for their work.
This has been a great series, Andrew. The wonderful work of the Paani Foundation -- and of the people of all of the villages who took part in these competitions -- is so inspiring, and hopeful for all of the rest of us. Thank you for bringing this wonderful series to those of us who might never have known about it otherwise.
This series has me wanting to start a fundraiser to get a few hundred acres in the Sonoran desert (or land closer to my home in Idaho) and turn it into a forested farm. If Brad Lancaster's numbers are correct, then that area of Arizona gets the same amount of rainfall as Boise.
As always, thanks for these great demonstrational videos. The world needs this.
Go for it!
So uplifting to see such progress in bringing food security to the villagers!
Yes
There's no silver bullet to restore the land and the climate... but this is a real game changer!
Amazing Works Maharashtra and Paani.
This must be done all over India where there's similar problems
This is remarkable!! Its an example of collective work!! Greetings from Pakistan!
I've been following your videos for a few years now. I am from India, but hadn't even heard of Paani Foundation, Dr. Avinash Pol. It makes me wonder why our media (even the somewhat offbeat ones) never cover these amazing stories. What Dr. Pol is doing ought to replicated in many other places. Right next to Maharashtra, I lived in Goa for 3 years. Goa gets an insane amount of rainfall, but every summer, the entire state suffers from severe water shortage. Nobody I met in Goa knew about this kind of work happening in Maharashtra.
These kind of systems are well suited for agricultural landscapes where lots of trenches can be dug. Urban areas need different solutions.
Oh you didn't hear Pani foundation then you may be living in a different world .
Love your work. Great job
Love this community based solution that returns balance, health & prosperity using regenerative practices.
salute your work for water conservation.
lot of love from Rajasthan
This is amazing, id love to leave my current career and be apart of something like this for the rest of my life
Well done friends. Accept Shabash from across the border. Bravo!
It is so wonderful to see the great results from all the villagers' hard work, your teaching, and the Paani Foundation's spreading it and motivating the people to give it a chance to work. It has all come together so beautifully. I'm looking forward to seeing your series on Senegal. There are so many opportunities around the world to slow water and improve soil and I'm cheering everyone making it happen and hoping to do my own small part. Love to all y'all showing love to Mother Earth. 💕
Andrew, you're awesome, and I love your videos, podcasts, interviews, etc. To see what is happening in India is amazing, and you've done an excellent job with documenting what they've accomplished. You keep me inspired to advance in my own farming and permaculture experience. I imagine a world where these efforts are the focus and not those of the rich men north of Richmond. 😅
Thanks John. That means a lot and I'm glad to be of service
Great video as always! I hope the rest of the world catches on too. 😊
Sawargaon Tal can do anything. That's why I love my village so much❤
Jai Hind Jai Maharashtra🇮🇳 🚩
Wow!!!Very good idea nd hard work of villegians 👌👌👏👍🌹
Well done! The world will watch and learn. I hope Maui considers something similar.
What a fantastic series. It’s an inspiration to see wat can be done in just 5 years!!! Keep up the updates.
This has been such an enjoyable series! It gives me such a hopeful feeling, and I can't wait to see what these villages will look like in the coming years. I bet the before/after of the mountain top where the CCTs were dug will be absolutely stunning!
Awesome 👍
I LOVE this!! It gives the world hope.
Felicitaciones a todos los habitantes que con su trabajo lograron cabiar su tierra y su vida. Salud! Son un ejemplo mundial
This work needs recognition. Good to see someone is acknowledging it.
After following your series, I dream about being able to have the resources and ability to do this in 1 village.. this is the 1st dream after many nightmares..
I'm glad you partnered with Oregon State to do your course. So many people online selling their courses with no reputable organization to back it up.
Thanks. I have been working at OSU teaching Permaculture since 2009 and I teach the same classes to enrolled students for credit as I offer to the general public. We developed our first online course in 2011 and have been iterating it ever since!
Welcome to Maharashtra
I have been waiting for this
This is such a hopeful heartwarming series! Thank you for sharing this.❤
Every Indian festival is dedicated to nature
I watch the whole video and get excited whenever you start drawing on the glass board ❤
Truly amazing to see what they are doing there. I would love to be apart of something like this where I live.
Pani faudetion great Work ni maharashtra water 💧 problem 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Beautifully planned system to protect our ecosystem this must be implemented every where.
nice one ... we need more like this in the other part's of india where needed
Absolutely my favorite types of videos to watch. So glad to see how many people are benefiting. Give them the power and they will show us how brilliant they are.
I am from Maharashtra, And I can definitely confirm in all districts these kind of innovative water saving techniques are being used, I have myself seen Jal Shivar Yojana successfully implemented in Abad district
Still it has not reached every corner of the state.
Yes dear Mr. Andrew, really i enjoyed watching this. Thank you. God bless you 🙏🙏

World 's needs that kind of men
i was watching a recent video about the clash between iran and afghanistan on water rights in their border region, especially the damage done to the Hamun Lake region.
It would be great if the powers in the region would put aside their issues and ask for help like from the pani foundation( and millison, and any others i dont know of) to minimise the impact their conflict was having and repair the local eco system.
countries around the world are facing conflicts over water and maybe if they asked for help in water conversation it would help reduce the regional tensions( it wont eleminate them though)
I was just watching the same video (by Caspian Report) and I was thinking about how their climate is so similar to Rajasthan where I have seen really incredible water management projects (which I will publish soon). They need to stop thinking about only the large rivers flowing between the countries and start working on replenishing smaller local watersheds and building local groundwater supplies through rainwater harvesting.
Ditto! I wonder if we could get Caspian Report to cover the water revolution of India and suggest this as a feasible option for easing tensions in several regions of conflict that he has reported on recently. His news network has a substantial and dispersed global following.
Incredible success story. Thank you for sharing this...
🙏🙏🙏🙏Thanks for paani foundation team india. Thanks Andrew millison sir and Avinash poll sir
Un excelente uso de la inteligencia al servicio de la gente. Objetivos claros, soluciones simples y muuuucho trabajo en equipo. Exitos.
Thank you for these videos, I always repeat watch the Paani foundation videos. So much hope!
Watching these videos always makes me so happy.
What a great foundation , what a great youtube channell and what a great people.
Thanks to everybody envolved and greatings from the Netherlands.
Thanks to our European brothers. We love you.
Oh yes was waiting for this.
Such a wonderful episode! Can't wait till the next one!
Wow - so cool! Imagine we create a way to connect farmers to share and learn. It’s why it makes sense to allow farmers to own their own supply chain.
What a fantastic example. Thank you for bringing this out to us.
The world needs this so bad. Awakening.
I love the work of these Indians and it is great how they are able to turn back to the old ways how it was done before the British arrived.
I have been wondering though, whether there has been an increase in cases of malaria and dengue, since the mosquitos breed in standing water. Is there also en effort to protect the villagers of these illnesses?
The farm ponds are added with guppy fish that eat up the mosquito larvae so no new epidemics of malaria or other mosquito borne infections have occured
When there are mosquito outbreaks and spread of disease it means there's an imbalance in nature. The addition of life, rather than the curtailment of it, is the solution - not genetic modifications or spraying of chemicals.
We have fishes that can tackle that.
It’s been so inspiring following this movement through these videos. Thanks Andrew!
I hope every state in India does such projects with help of Bureaucrats and Local Govt Representatives, before they fall into the pit of water shortage. Preserve Nature, it will pay back.
We need these technology all over India 🙏
Amazing work👏👏👏
Great work ,,,,,,jay Maharashtra
Heey stooop the fertilizer and pesticide companies don't like this😂😂😂
I'm from Maharashtra, where we have this wonderful thing called "Shramdaan." It's all about people pitching in voluntarily with their labor for community or social projects. It's one reason why we're so strong in coming together for common goals like this.
Thank you for update on this program.
Southern Utah needs this help. Not only to sustain immense growth but also to preserve our water for future generations.
Very impressive!! Kudos to the team work of all these hard working men and women!!
