The Watershed Organisation Trust (WOTR) was established in December 1993 with the mandate to develop capacities of the various stakeholders for the Indo-German Watershed Development Programme.

In a context where 38% of the country is semi-arid and arid, where 70% of our agriculture is rain-dependent, and where Climate Change is playing havoc both within India and globally, WOTR is an organisation that represents the Trust among the poor, to make water flow for them.  WOTR traps rain wherever it falls, plants trees, re-generates the forests, protects and enriches the environment, for the people and by the people who live therein.
