Cauvery Calling Campaign will support farmers to plant 242Cr trees to revitalize Cauvery. Act now
River Cauvery, is the largest contributor of irrigation and drinking water for the states of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. The RiverCauvery has shrunk by 40% from its historical flows and 87% of the basin’s original tree cover has been lost resulting in the drinking water scarcity, agrarian distress and farmers are seeped in debts.
What needs to be done? The soil is the solution. If we can replenish the soil’s nutrients and carbon content, it will once again turn fertile, absorb rainwater, and feed the Cauvery. The easiest and cheapest way to replenish soil is to plant trees.
How will it be done? Isha Foundation has already designed, and proven sustainable agroforestry model to overcome this problem. They have a plan to plant 242 Crore trees along the Cauvery basin in 12 yrs.
