WATER ENGINEERING

All eyes have been on Copenhagen this week. Quite right. To that end here is a video that I found absolutely fascinating. The title is The Ancient Ingenuity of Water Harvesting.

"With wisdom and wit, Anupam Mishra talks about the amazing feats of engineering built centuries ago by the people of India's Golden Desert to harvest water. These structures are still used today -- and are often superior to modern water megaprojects.

To promote smart water management, Anupam Mishra works to preserve rural India’s traditional rainwater harvesting techniques."

The video is 17 minutes long and is here on the internet.
