Late Ayyappa Masagi's name is synonymous with water conservation in Karnataka. Known as "Water Gandhi" and "Water Doctor," he wholeheartedly committed himself to the cause after leaving a good job in 2002. Masagi pioneered various subsoil water conservation techniques, ranging from rain pits to sophisticated systems such as stream water harvesting and subterranean reservoirs, to turn arid lands in Southern India into fertile regions. His innovations aimed not only to combat drought but also to fundamentally built the hydrology of these regions.
Masagi was relentless in his pursuit of safeguarding Earth's most precious resource. An organic farmer himself, he advocated for the method and believed in the power of mixed farming. "In the soil, water finds immortality. It endures, regardless of time," he once remarked, encapsulating his philosophy. Though Masagi has passed, his legacy endures as a beacon of inspiration. His words echo: "Do not let soil and water lose their power."
