====Water Cycle====
Since the municipal water supply is highly unreliable, lack of drinking water is a big problem in the village. The centre, aside from having designed methods for recycling blackwater and greywater, focuses on rainwater harvesting. This is already practiced to a certain extent in households around the village. In addition CART has begun to build simple dams around the village, which are used to collect water. This water can directly be used for irrigation. If needed for drinking water, it is filtered through the slow sand filter at the centre. CART is also building a community centre, where meetings and workshops can be held.
