Anupam Mishra: The ancient ingenuity of water harvesting

An extremely inspiring talk! When most of the country is talking about water shortage, Anupam Mishra comes with simple processes that have lasted hundreds of years in the Jaipur/Jaisalmer area. He even has the audacity to ask people from Chennai and Bangalore to come to this area in case they every run out of water - and this area receives between 6cm to 10cm of rainfall every year. But he has a very gentle tone about him, and it is clear that the talk is going to be cute when he starts with "please switch of your 'proper english' check programs". Why can't we take a leaf out of what our own country has already achieved and apply to the rest of the country? So so inspiring!
