In the first six months of their grant, GRAVIS assisted in the construction of five new water-storing taankas for extremely poor Indian families. Thanks to the taankas, the availability of sweet water has increased by a minimum of 3 months, and will most likely grow with monsoon weather. This has lowered the expenditure on water by Rs 1000- 1500 (US$23 - $35) for each family. Storing water in the taanka saves women 2 to 3 hours a day from fetching water from the nearest source.
