Prayagraj
The City of Prime Ministers
Situated at the confluence of the River Ganga and Yamuna, Prayagraj, formerly known as Allahabad, is renowned for hosting the Kumbh Mela and its rich political history. Known as the "City of Prime Ministers," Prayagraj has been home to seven of India's thirteen Prime Ministers, including Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi. Despite its significant water availability, the city faces challenges of water sustainability, groundwater extraction, and wetland conservation.
Water as Leverage Prayagraj is dedicated to addressing these issues by integrating the city's traditional water systems with modern solutions. The program aims to ensure water security, reduce non-revenue water, and promote water re-utilization through innovative infrastructure and collaborative efforts. By leveraging the Water as Leverage methodology, we strive to build a resilient and sustainable future for Prayagraj, securing a vibrant community for generations to come.
