Indigenous methods of rainwater harvesting and traditional house construction practices

AR-007-0057

An envelope with a set of twenty-four photographs documents the traditional methods of rainwater harvesting practiced by indigenous communities, illustrating sustainable techniques of water management and conservation. The images also depict MPSM members collaborating with local people through Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) activities, reflecting a scientific and community-based approach to environmental sustainability. Additionally, the photographs capture the indigenous practice of stitching and constructing houses before the monsoon season—a communal activity that demonstrates traditional engineering knowledge and adaptation to climatic conditions.
