During the month of April and May, water tankers were the only means of drinking water.
Hazare came across the work of one Vilasrao Salunke, a resident of Saswad near Pune who had started a novel project of water management through watershed development in a joint venture with the Gram Panchyat.This resulted in increase in the ground water level.
