Conversation with the “Water Man of India”
GUEST: Rajendra Singh, winner of the Stockholm Water Prize in 2015 and has also won the Ramon Magsaysay Award for Community Leadership, he heads a non-governmental organization in Northern India called Tarun Bharat Singh.
As we head into the fifth year of California’s historic drought, people are bracing themselves for an unpredictable El Nino season. Even though the ground is parched, when the rains come, they will simply flood the area and flow right into the ocean. California’s water woes are partly natural and partly man-made.

One of the internationally recognized figures who has learned much about water management is my guest Rajendra Singh, known to many as the “Water Man of India.”
