RainReach 

Rain Reach is a program of eco-education for school-going children.

​Our Mission is Education of children through RainReach to ensure water conservation becomes a habit and solves the water problem by the next generation.  We have here in this edition - and every month — lots of picture stories to present the story that’s unfolding every month. 

Our mission is also to take Education on water for children, for adults, for technical people, in water and in technologies for treating water or harnessing water…
 

How can children learn how to save sensibly, how to recycle, harvest and manage the water cycle. How can we build a generation of water-wise young Indians? How can our schools and children inspire other neighbouring buildings, homes and offices. RainReach guides with constant contact and help for the children. 
 

We take to schools simple measures that help them understand how we need to treasure this precious liquid. As children move into their lives as adults, water will need to be entirely differently addressed.

It encourages learning-by-doing for kids of age 12-16 years with support from teachers and water industry volunteers or Water Mentors. 

We aim to reach 50 schools in Bangalore. That is a start. But that is a large and formidable initiative and will depend on how we all work together – water mentors, faculty, and children.

February is the 3rd month of lean or no rains… The dependence on borewells becomes high.. Several newspaper reports in late February raised the usual alarm on the water crisis coming up in summer. The summer in Bangalore lasts typically 6 to 7 weeks starting February. We should have our first rains by end March, despite climate change, or BECAUSE of climate change and the urban heat island effect which induces higher precipitation within a city. February was spent on the preparatory for the installations of the digital systems in the schools and with events that brought water champions like Murthy Gangappa and others to the schools. The February Update is presented here.
