At Puttenahalli Lake, we know the value of rainwater and its harvesting. After all, the only water that the lake receives is from rain.
Now here's a good opportunity for artists to help in promoting RWH and win some good prize money too!
"Raindrops Geneva Award" is a competition organised by the International Rainwater Harvesting Alliance (IRHA) to highlight the importance of this vital resource – rainwater – and its management. Participants from all over the world send in their entries, and after a vote by the jury, three prizes are given. The first competition, organised in 2007, awarded the poster that best illustrated the positive aspects of Rainwater Harvesting, and the second one, held in 2009, the best short film. The last competition was for photographs that showed the benefits and practical uses of rainwater harvesting.

The winning entries are then used to promote rainwater harvesting. Exhibitions were held for both the posters and photographs in the year following each competition. The short films were shown at the Green Film Festival in Geneva, and are still used on the IRHA website to this day.
