Decades ago, Dr Rajendra Singh-affectionately called "Rajinder" and celebrated as the Waterman of India-set out to heal India's dying rivers not by taming them, but by nurturing the land around them. Through the Tarun Bharat Sangh, he planted shrubs and grasses, revived ancient water-harvesting systems, and proved that even in the harshest, lowest-rainfall regions, perennial rivers like the Sherni and Parvati can flow again. This book tells the inspiring true story of how barren landscapes became green belts, and how dry riverbeds filled with water once more. Drawing on vivid first-hand accounts from villagers, it captures not only the ecological rebirth but also a social revolution: feared figures turned protectors, destitute families became thriving communities, and shared income from water chestnut and fish farming funded schools, wells, and collective dreams. More than a chronicle of water conservation, this is a story about resilience, self-reliance, and hope. It shows what happens when ordinary people unite behind an extraordinary vision-restoring nature, and in the process, restoring their own dignity and future. Read this book to discover how one man's quiet revolution became a movement that changed lives, landscapes, and the very flow of rivers.
