Water Conservation has reached the attention of mainstream
society of late. However, in some rural communities around the globe, water conservation has been a long standing practice. One such rural community
happens to be in India,Kikruma a village nestled in a rain-shadowed
area of Phek district of Nagaland. According to IndaWaterPortal, A century ago
this community devised a unique and successful way to conserve this natural
resource. According to the website the village centuries ago developed a
process called ”Zabo” which translates to water impoundment. This technique
uses catchments that capture the rain runoff from the mountains surrounding the
village. The water then is transferred to ponds through a series of channels,
which is allowed to pass through cattle yards where the flow picks up nutrients
needed for soil development. The water
then flows to patty fields where is used to irrigate the village crops. The
patty fields are also use to cultivate fish, which serve as additional
sustenance and income for the village. Surprisingly according to the article
this successful system has not been reproduced elsewhere and is attributed only
to the village of Kikruma. For more information and additional stories please
