Title:Whose Water?
Language/ Duration/Year/ Format (DVD)/ Price: English /26 mins/ 2002/ DVD Rs. 1000
Summary: This film explores the notion of state ownership of natural resources. In India the state owns all natural resources unless otherwise decreed. This is a story about Rajasthan where 1000 villages have been revolutionized by bringing backwater into their life. Tarun Bharat Sangh, a motley group of people, headed by Rajender Singh acted as a catalyst and inspiration for the communities and galvanized them to revive their traditional water harvesting system. Dry rivers were revived and communities' general economic well being swelled. It sounds like a fairy tail and the results are almost like one!
