Thanks to the Chennai floods, I’m embracing minimalism.

Crashing white waves and children’s delightful laughter. With these missing, Chennai's vibrant beach wears a different look with mounds of debris, showing the remnants of lives ravaged by floods. Jency Samuel explores the unseen aftermath – the waste that accumulates, a heavy burden long after the water retreats.

In the heart of India's Thar Desert lies Bada Bagh, a garden complex whispering secrets of water resilience.

This captivating story explores the traditional khadeen system, an ingenious method of water harvesting that not only sustained the community but also nurtured a complex web of social and ecological connections.

Here's why the khadeen is so important:

💧 Sustainable water management
🧑🏾‍🤝‍🧑🏾 Community-based system
🌱 Organic farming

However, Bada Bagh is facing challenges:

🏜️ Pressure on water resources
💡Loss of traditional knowledge

This story highlights the crucial role of traditional knowledge in building water resilience. By learning from the past, communities like Bada Bagh can adapt and thrive in a changing climate.

In India's Thar Desert, Bada Bagh's verdant oasis relies on ancient "khadeen" water management. Modern market pressures threaten this harmony.

Why Nextblue?

We believe in the power of a positive and action-oriented story about water. Storytelling inspires and brings people together. This way we help local communities to improve their resilience.

Nextblue is a community-driven platform about water. We strive for improved understanding of water challenges in delta areas, initiate dialogues with local delta dwellers, who know their environment best, and put forward solutions to improve living with water.

Extreme flooding, growing delta cities and millions of climate refugees. These are the challenges delta countries face. Demand for water knowledge increases and so does the complexity of water challenges.

Nextblue anticipates the need for thorough analyses of the local context, because it increases the chance that water plans are effective in practice. This is of importance for both the local delta dwellers, as well as for the Dutch water sector.
