The ancient Indian structures providing water as modern ones run dry

Before the village where Varsha, 67, lives dug a johad, her well would run inconsistently through the dry months. Now it holds water year-round, she says. Varsha never used to speak in her village assemblies, but now she has become a vocal advocate for the structures. What is needed now, she says, is regular desilting and more structures besides, so nobody depends on a single source.
