| Submission declined on 20 April 2025 by Theroadislong (talk). This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies. Declined by Theroadislong 41 hours ago. | |

Global Rainwater Management Program (GRMP)
[edit]The Global Rainwater Management Program (GRMP) is an international initiative aimed at improving water security through rainwater harvesting, groundwater recharge, and sustainable water resource management. It incorporates traditional knowledge with modern technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), to address global water-related challenges such as drought, flooding, and contamination.
Overview
[edit]GRMP is designed as a modular and adaptable framework for implementation across varied geographies, including rural, urban, arid, and semi-arid regions. It includes techniques such as rooftop rainwater harvesting, artificial wetlands, canal well recharge systems, desert trenches, green infrastructure, and nature-based solutions. The program emphasizes community involvement, environmental sustainability, and alignment with international water governance principles.
Objectives
[edit]The main objectives of the GRMP include: - Enhancing groundwater recharge using eco-engineering and AI-powered solutions - Promoting safe and clean rainwater harvesting practices - Reducing dependence on desalination and surface water sources - Supporting climate adaptation and disaster risk reduction - Contributing to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Implementation and Techniques
[edit]The program integrates over 15 recharge and harvesting techniques, some of which include: - Rooftop Rainwater Harvesting with filtration layers - 1 CBM Canal Well Recharge structures - Constructed Wetlands for natural filtration and recharge - Ice Stupas in cold regions - Organic farming and soil conservation for infiltration - Urban green infrastructure such as permeable pavements and bios wales
Global Reach and Case Studies
[edit]GRMP has been implemented in various countries including India, Indonesia, Nigeria, Uganda, and Oman. In India, particularly in Gujarat and Maharashtra, the program has contributed to groundwater recharge volumes exceeding 2.7 billion liters annually. In Oman, long-term AI simulations suggest a significant reduction in desalination dependency through GRMP interventions.
Technology Integration
[edit]The program leverages AI and data analytics for: - Mapping and monitoring aquifer levels - Identifying recharge zones - Simulating groundwater trends - Assessing climate vulnerability and water demand
Satellite data, GIS mapping, and IoT-based water quality sensors support the technical backbone of the program.
Recognition and Alignment with Global Goals
[edit]GRMP has received recognition from international organizations such as the UNCCD, GWP, and GWP-SEA. It contributes directly to SDGs 3 (Good Health and Well-being), 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), 11 (Sustainable Cities), and 13 (Climate Action), among others.
