Large-Scale Land Regeneration & Permaculture Design

A walkthrough of the Ranthambore garden, showing the layout of the raised beds and the variety of plants growing. We use natural pest control methods like sticky traps, seen here as yellow and blue tags, to protect the crops organically.

The garden in Ranthambore is teeming with life. This video shows the lush growth of pumpkin vines and other vegetables, demonstrating the success of our ecological design approach in creating a fertile environment.

Here we are on-site in Ranthambore, walking through the newly established organic orchard. We work closely with our clients to design and execute projects that align with their vision and the land's natural potential.

For a large permaculture site in Rajasthan, our first step was to map the land's contours and natural water flow. This technical drawing shows our plan to create swales along the contour lines to slow and capture rainwater.

Before our intervention, rainwater would cause significant soil erosion on this site in Rajasthan. Our goal was to mimic nature's way of slowing water flow to prevent this loss of valuable topsoil.

This is the result. By digging swales, we created channels that capture monsoon rains, allowing the water to percolate slowly into the ground. This simple technique transforms an erosion problem into a water conservation solution.

Here you can see the machinery at work, digging the swales. These trenches are crucial for increasing water percolation and managing the energy of stormwater, recharging the groundwater and building soil moisture.

This diagram explains how a swale and bund system works. The swale, or trench, holds water, while the bund, or mound, on the downhill side allows it to retain even more, maximizing water absorption into the soil.

This aerial map shows our comprehensive water conservation strategy for a site near Jaipur. We designed a network of swales, ponds, and check dams to capture monsoon runoff and channel it across the landscape.
