    Water scarcity is a pressing issue globally, particularly affecting regions like Maharashtra, where many villages struggle to access sufficient water for daily needs, including drinking water. Due to economic constraints, villagers often cannot afford water tankers. Recognizing its societal and environmental responsibility, TERRE has initiated a project, supported by CSR funding, to address this challenge. Through measures such as designing water harvesting systems, constructing wells, hand pumps, bore wells, and implementing watershed development initiatives, TERRE aims to provide a sustainable solution, ensuring access to water for the daily needs of farmers and communities in these areas.
