BRIEF DESCRIPTION
In a city plagued with water problems, and in a world where water is constantly depleting, In Search of Lost Water takes you to water bodies of medieval Delhi to highlight traditional wisdom in water conservation and management.
The baolis (step-wells) of Delhi, scientifically designed to harvest rainwater and conserve it for use throughout the year, are in a state of disuse. Delhi has historically been a city with issues of water shortage, but in the present day, this problem has reached acute proportions. Can the Baolis and old reservoirs of Delhi help in solving the water problems of the city?
The baolis, besides being structures to store water and recharge the underground aquifers, were also an integral part of community life as people would gather and spend hot summer afternoons in the cool underground of the Baolis.
The walk takes you to baolis spread over the modern city of Delhi, built across the centuries by different dynasties, belonging to the different historic cities of Delhi. Why doesn’t New Delhi have its own Baolis? Why has it not kept the old baolis alive (reviving and cleaning the baolis is estimated to cost much less than what we spend on modern irrigation systems) to make sure Delhi-wallahs have more water?
We will discover lost community spaces, hear the laughter still echoing in the step-wells, eavesdrop on gossip, in search of lost water…

BRIEF DESCRIPTION
The Boat Project fulfills multiple objectives: celebrating the innocent child like joy of the monsoon, creating awareness on climate change and environmental issues, and celebrating Independence Day.
Participants will make at least three paper boats each, in the colours of the Indian flag: Saffron, White and Green. Making and floating boats in the rainy seasons has been a well-known pastime of children.
The project team, led by facilitators from the collaborating organisations will then engage the participants (which will be split into groups) in a workshop session, meant to create environmental awareness.
The participants will then be asked to represent these ideas by drawing on the boats. The boats will then have messages on how we can save the world from an ecological disaster.
After the boats are completed, participants will be taken to the water bodies at Seelct Citywalk, where they will float some of the boats they made.
We will fly kites to celebrate Independence Day, and as they go home, participants will be asked to retrieve one boat from the water, which they could take home as a message from another participant and a souvenir of the project.
SCHEDULE
2 pm Introduction; forming participant groups
2: 15 – 2:45 pm Making origami paper boats
