On January 23, we launched the Green Rural Economy platform at a two-day event at the School of Ancient Wisdom in north Bengaluru. In part 2, we delve into the features of the platform and the issues that need to be addressed for it to be an effective platform

Ahead of the Data for Water Security Hackathon, we put together this use case to help demonstrate how Jaltol could potentially be used to more accurately measure how water management efforts by Tarun Bharat Sangh is impacting the region.

On January 23, we launched the Green Rural Economy platform at a two-day workshop at the School of Ancient Wisdom in north Bengaluru. This is part one of a blog series that summarises the intent of the platform and the way forward based on discussions at the event.

WELL Labs has partnered with ACIWRM and IHE Delft to understand and improve community-driven applications of remote sensing data in India’s Krishna river basin.

We team up with Tarun Bharat Sangh to see how remote sensing can aid planning, impact evaluation and scaling up for johads, the traditional earthen embankments that are key to water conservation efforts in Rajasthan

As part of the Green Rural Livelihoods project, we visited Lohardaga and got insights from the ground on how grassroots organisations like PRADAN support the livelihoods of local communities. We summarise five insights in the second part of this series.

As part of the Green Rural Economy project, we visited Lohardaga and got insights from the ground on how grassroots organisations like PRADAN support local communities with best practices on land and water management. We summarise our learnings in this two-part blog series.

Remote sensing data validated through reports from the ground can capture changes in spatial agricultural patterns down to plot level. This blog sheds light on land use maps developed by IIT Delhi called IndiaSAT.

WELL Labs is co-developing with its partners simple user-friendly tools, under the Jaltol framework, to help us diagnose the magnitude of water mismanagement and track our progress towards water security.

Under the Green Rural Livelihoods project, we are working with Rainmatter Foundation to create how-to guides and playbooks.

We applied an agent-based modeling (ABM) approach to understand farmer choices and transitions before and after solar irrigation in six districts

Given the push for investments in the water sustainability space, businesses need to be better informed about where the big problems lie so that projects can be properly planned and executed. But there’s a data gap. Our comprehensive study of three important river basins — Cauvery, Ganga and Krishna

Through this landscape review, we take a closer look at agritech startups to identify how to secure the livelihoods of farmers while simultaneously addressing environmental concerns

We explore how to bring aquifers back into balance by increasing recharge and reducing abstraction. We also make the case for a system of water credits to effectively drive collective action.

Water security plans (WSPs), which describe the current state of water challenges in the region under study and the interventions planned, are an important component of rural water security programmes. Based on our review, we argue that WSPs need to be more streamlined and must shift focus towards using

This report details the ‘pain points’ or challenges CSOs face as they attempt to intervene at different stages in the farming process. This is based on fieldwork we carried out in four states - Maharashtra, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka.

We conducted a series of interviews with Civil Society Organisations and philanthropic organisations to understand the role of data, maps, and digital tools in rural water security programmes. This report summarises our insights and suggested solutions.
