Aims & Objectives

We started Ira with an aim to make water available through water conservation.
We have four objectives till year 2020 that guide our work

To improve groundwater table by recharging 10,000 borewells in India

To save 3 TMC water which is equivalent to size of a dam

To develop a sustainable model for rural water management

To raise awareness by educating children and working with policy makers, city planners and developers

What We Seek To Change?

Water availability is an ongoing issue, which is becoming more complex due to rising demand and depleting supply.
In order to align ourselves to our aim we have identified three key areas to focus on

1

Attitude

Water is a basic necessity that is often overlooked and taken for granted. Attitude towards water should be changed. Water is a community resource, which is meant to be judiciously used, shared and conserved. Much of our work over the next three years will be focused on supporting/performing activities that can change people's attitudes and habits.

2

Compliance

While there are rules and regulations in place at State and Central level, due to lack of awareness and absence of desire the reinforcement is weak. We will work with builders, developers, industries, and local municipal corporations to improve compliance in an attempt to save groundwater from pollution and depletion.

3

Participation

No impact is better than the one taken up at community level – be it awareness, engagement or reinforcement. It’s vital for everyone to understand their water sources and question and plan for sustainability. We will work towards influencing policy makers and city planners/developers to bring about avenues for more community involvement.
