Water scarcity is one of the most stressful situations that one could ever endure. And yet, in India, a country that holds 18% of the total world population with only 4% of its water resources, this is a recurring struggle with notable numbers of Indian households having to manage water scarcity on a daily basis.

The yearly water cycle is a tough one, ranging from one extreme to another. Harsh monsoons and flood seasons turn into insufferable droughts, making it increasingly difficult to control and retain water resources. While most large-scale actions focus on consequences to agricultural and production sectors, the result is also recognizable at an individual household level. Therefore cumulative small-scale actions are relevant gateways for citizens (? people, designers) to mitigate the issue. 

There are, in fact, many interventions in the works on a national and federal level, along with various international endeavors that are aiding populations to responsibly utilize water sources. But there are other important actors on the ground. Specialized Architects such as Biome Environmental Solutions, Samira Rathod Design Atelier, Monsoon Collective, and many others; are taking it upon themselves to propose some passive, efficient, and accessible solutions that could easily and affordably be implemented in residential projects. Some of these means have existed in some form for a while and could be brought back and adjusted for current needs.
