The ancient Sri Thyagaraja temple at Tiruvarur is dedicated to the Somaskanda aspect of Shiva. The Kamalalayam temple tank covers around 33 acres (130,000 m2) is one of the largest in the country. The temple chariot is the largest of its kind in Tamil Nadu.
It is an awesome sight. The waters of the Kamalalayam tank in the great temple at Thiruvarur defy reality. The rains have failed for three years and the Cauvery has run dry in the Thanjavur delta. Even though some fields fed by borewells are lushly carpeted with paddy, both distress and hope abound in this historical heartland of the Cholas. There is an ancient legend here worth telling. The Goddess Kamalaambika, who wished to marry Lord Thyagaraja, the presiding deity of this Shiva temple, stands in perpetual penance, her prayers unfulfilled. And the locals say, "kallu ther odinaal,kaalai maadu paal kuduttha, Kamalalayam vathi ponaal, Kamalambikaikku kalyanam" (if a stone chariot could run, if an ox could yield milk, if the Kamalalayam runs dry, only then will Kamalaambika be married). This is not only an ode to one woman's determination but also to Kamalalayam's infinite powers. Fed by underground wells that replenish it constantly, this temple tank accomplishes the impossible.
From the tidy and quiet railway stations en route to the bustling small towns that are still agrarian in character, India's rural hinterland has many layers and sub-texts to explore. The Thiruvarur region of Thanjavur is considered sacred soil upon which walked emperors among men. The breathtaking scale of temple architecture, its astonishing evolution in design and aesthetics, the folklore and mythology that infuse stone with palpable character, the link between tradition and utility (the temple tanks that are used for sacred rituals but also perform the vital task of recharging the groundwater) — Thiruvarur is all about living history.
we have to order water - they deliver a full water tank for 300 rupees, about US 6$. This water is pumped in the sump and from there pumped to the overhead tank.
In this area, they build many huge apartment complexes, that use enormous amounts of water .... and they are drying up the smaller borewells in the area .... :(

As many places around this area, the borewells are going dry and city water supply is minimum....
Many go for their own borewell or do a re-bore and go deeper.....
Really sad that after two days of drilling and going 1200 feet deep......... they had to stop... no water :(
It left this place with enormous dust, clay, stone, sand piles and a rupees 200.000 (2 Lakh ) bill - which is about US $5000 - for here a substantial amount for this kind of service

In the small village of Arakere, (state of Karnataka on the Deccan Plateau) the town where my father in law was born, they have run out of water. Over the last decade or so, the annual monsoon rains have not been delivering enough predictable rain and the village has been having severe droughts. Sometimes this means the coconut plantations (the village's main source of income) start to dry out, this time it means that literally every last drop of water has been pumped from the wells (the water table has continued to drop) and there is nothing to drink, cook or wash with, let alone irrigate their crops.
It is a crisis situation for this very poor village. What does this mean? Well, for short term, we will send money to the village to have water trucked in, but this is not a long term solution. In my opinion, the solution lies in rainwater catchment and efficient channeling of rain runoff to recharge dried out wells. This is not an expensive solution luckily (much less expensive than drilling deeper wells, which would run dry anyway), and there is some rain, and any amount of rain can be "harvested" if the systems are in place. Even much more arid states in India are having success harvesting rainwater.
Anyway, I felt compelled to put the word out there that global climate change is affecting members of my family in a drastic way, and I intend to help the village implement a solution if possible. If you are interested in rainwater catchment, please check out some of these links. I hope that Anand and I will be able to visit Arakere this winter and help establish a system for the villagers to collect rainwater by the next monsoon, no matter how sparse it may be, in hopes that there will be at least enough drinking water saved to get them through the driest months, and with luck, enough water to irrigate the crops that sustain them. It may already be too late for the coconuts, which are reportedly dried up.
With projected drinking-water shortages for much of the world in the next decades, you may wish to implement some of these ideas in your own home or community before it is too late. Thanks for reading, and let me know if you have any ideas or personal experience. I'm totally starting from scratch here!

The Adalaj well near Ahmedabad was built 500 years ago to provide access to the water table near the city. It's 5-stories deep, intricately carved, and stays quite cool (if humid) near the bottom, where the water can still be reached.
It makes such a difference from the modern utilitarian borewells, pulling water up from hundreds of metres deep, that have been such a common sight while travelling around visiting farmers - see more about that in the rest of the set here.
This picture was taken from the cool depths, looking up into the sky overhead.
A Paddy field of young saplings gets supplemental water from a borewell pump, and the fields are lush green for miles on end. Coconut trees that line the borders of fields are only too happy to soak up some of the irrigation water.

Fetching water in Shivalingam, Tamil Nadu, India
The never-ending quest for groundwater: In rocky zones where wells are large open wells (10 to 15 metres in diameter), digging deeper to get more water leads to excavating excessively large amounts of rock: piles of earth, similar to slag heaps, which obstruct part of the field stand out in the landscape and reflect the extent of the phenomenon, here in Tamil Nadu, South India. This barefooted man carrying a pipe over ground burnt by the sun is in keeping with the same process of the never-ending quest for water.
Everybody wants water and the race is on to excavate deeper or to install 'side bores' (horizontal bores in wells) to increase the water catchment area. However, by multiplying the number of wells and of pump operations, groundwater dries up more quickly and everybody soon finds themselves without water, except for those who can afford to install a very deep borewell. Inequalities in terms of access to water are therefore heightened.
In the small village of Arakere, (state of Karnataka on the Deccan Plateau) the town where my father in law was born, they have run out of water. Over the last decade or so, the annual monsoon rains have not been delivering enough predictable rain and the village has been having severe droughts.

The farmers are out preparing their fields for the coming monsoon season, often ploughing with two cows as in this picture. If they have access to a borewell, they pump water and plant whenever they wish - the wealthier they are the earlier they can afford to start planting it seems.
But there are others who have to wait for the rains to start - so that their crops won't get scorched in the baking sun. The rains are late this year, like they were last year. Most farmers I have spoken to believe that this means that there will be less rain once it arrives. So they prepare and wait.
Otherwise, what would they do?

In the small village of Arakere, (state of Karnataka on the Deccan Plateau) the town where my father in law was born, they have run out of water. Over the last decade or so, the annual monsoon rains have not been delivering enough predictable rain and the village has been having severe droughts. Sometimes this means the coconut plantations (the village's main source of income) start to dry out, this time it means that literally every last drop of water has been pumped from the wells (the water table has continued to drop) and there is nothing to drink, cook or wash with, let alone irrigate their crops.
It is a crisis situation for this very poor village. What does this mean? Well, for short term, we will send money to the village to have water trucked in, but this is not a long term solution. In my opinion, the solution lies in rainwater catchment and efficient channeling of rain runoff to recharge dried out wells. This is not an expensive solution luckily (much less expensive than drilling deeper wells, which would run dry anyway), and there is some rain, and any amount of rain can be "harvested" if the systems are in place. Even much more arid states in India are having success harvesting rainwater.
Anyway, I felt compelled to put the word out there that global climate change is affecting members of my family in a drastic way, and I intend to help the village implement a solution if possible. If you are interested in rainwater catchment, please check out some of these links. I hope that Anand and I will be able to visit Arakere this winter and help establish a system for the villagers to collect rainwater by the next monsoon, no matter how sparse it may be, in hopes that there will be at least enough drinking water saved to get them through the driest months, and with luck, enough water to irrigate the crops that sustain them. It may already be too late for the coconuts, which are reportedly dried up.
With projected drinking-water shortages for much of the world in the next decades, you may wish to implement some of these ideas in your own home or community before it is too late.

The district administration has issued orders
to stall all borewell digging operations done without approval. The over exploitation of the groundwater in the district has led to acute water crises.

No pictures about rainfall and climate would be complete without the cliched image of drought - cracked earth. The northwest of India has been suffering from low rainfalls for the past three years, and again this year it has forced people without access to borewells to abandon their planted crops, or even their lands.
But that is far from the only problem people here are facing. The water table in Gujarat is dropping quickly, and in some places is as deep as 300 metres. Farmers are pushing their land to its limits by planting three crops back-to-back with barely a break in between during the year, and pumping heavily from borewells to make this possible. When asked what problems they are facing, they say that declining rainfall is taking away their groundwater. In reality it is the amount of pumping by hundreds of private borewells that is mostly to blame. How long will the water last? A few years, ten at most, they say.
What will you do once it is gone? What will we do once it is gone, they say, only god knows.
Look at more of my photos from this research project here.
A dry well, not completely abandoned, as they have tried to drill a borewell right through it. Looked scary from on top, so I was a bit wary while taking this shot.
Dr. Ritesh Arya, Arya Drillers, Chandigarh, India.
"Geothermal Borewell was drilled in 1980s but its utilisation in terms power generation or for space heating and drinking water for nearby community is still awaited
Aamodini Arya is trying to catch the geothermal fumes which have been coming from the womb of earth so that it could be tapped to be utilised for providing energy and water to the homes of the nomads living in the vicinity with no electricity and no water for drinking in winters. For 4-5 months they melt ice to quench their thirst in winters. These hot waters if utilised properly can make life of more than 70 nomadic families living in the borders of India and Tibet (now China) much easier specially in winters Driver Angchuk is also seen in the picture
In 2002 I was doing a drilling project to develop groundwater at Field research laboratory Partapur in Nubra Valley for Defence Reseach development Organisation (DRDO) to provide drinking water to the troops stationed there on one hand and on the other provide warm water to increase thier agricultural production
Met Major Bhoporai of 4 Engineers who was upset as the water supply scheme planned by him for Siachen went for a 6 due to floods.
When i ashed him I wanted to go to Siachen he said either I had to be a defence minister or a soldier in the army.
But when I told him that i can give him 24 hours 365 days in Siachen ...he was surprised and the next morning I was in Siachen fullfing thier water requirement on sustainable basis and drilling the 1st borewell in the snout of Siachen glacier in the Karakoram range
Borewell drilled have given continuous water since then even in winters when temperatures drop to minus 40 degrees

There is a house washing facility in use here, installed by AWED/WaterAid. Despite there being many taps, only one is used as there is only one bar of soap. Children line up for hand and plate washing at lunchtime (12:45pm).
Mary Narmala, Headteacher: “I have worked here since 1988, 22 years. The school opened in 1986. I became head in 2007. After the Tsunami they put the handwashing, toilets and borewell in place, as well as the rainwater recharging system through AWED/WaterAid. Before the Tsunami the cooks would collect the water . And if a child wanted to go to the toilet they would be sent home. The cooks would get the water from a well within half a km from here. The water was not easy to collect, it was limited.
“Before the children didn’t know to wash hands with soap. The project taught the children the importance of handwashing.
“The children often had skin diseases, diarrhoea, vomiting and fever. this was common here. So many children were absent because of sickness. But now the parents and children have good hygiene awareness, and attendance is good. AWED did hygiene training but now the teachers do this. We make sure they wash, check their nails. We do this everyday.
Before the Tsunami, since the children were absent it was difficult for the teachers. We kept having to repeat the lessons as there were not enough children in each class attending. Now we have no problems with attendance. There are 153 children here.
“The work done by AWED is permanent and life long. There was good work done here by them”
Pupils pictured at the school:

“I wash my hands before eating. After playing and after going to the toilet. The teacher taught me to do this. It’s important because the germs might affect us. It enters our stomach and creates some disease for us. When I grow up I want to be a driver. I like cars, my Dad is a driver. I like football. I play football.”
When the borewell dries up .... we have to order water - they deliver a tank full for 300 rupees, about US 6$. This water is pumped in the sump and from there pumped to the overhead tank.
In this area, they build many huge apartment complexes, that use enormous amounts of water .... and they are drying up the smaller borewells in the area .... :(
Our old well. With the advent of electric motor & borewell no one use this except in summer (for foew days when the water level is too low in borewell)
Field visit to Chikantapura Village, Bellary, Karnataka, India on 1-2 December, 2016.
Sujatha (left) a farmer's wife shares results of better watershed management with K. Ganga, a research technician with ICRISAT. The water management program has given the farming family access to three borewells in place of one. With this, information on soil profiles of their farm has allowed them to apply the right types of fertilizer and micronutrients. #GlobalPulseDay
