CareerRuia was inspired by severe droughts in 1999/2000 and 2003 to improve water harvesting in Rajasthan villages.[1][2] She founded the [https://web.archive.org/web/20130129233923/http://www.aakarindia.net/profile.html Aakar Charitable Trust](ACT) to partner with villages to build check dams that provide water security.[3] Her first check dam project was in Mandawar village,[1] which was a success. Farmers managed to earn up to 120 million rupees in a year via the two check dams built by Aakar Charitable Trust.[1] By the end of 2017, Aakar Charitable Trust had built more than 200 check dams in more than 115 villages in Rajasthan, with flow-on effects to almost 200 other villages.[4][5][6] The Trust provides 60-70% of the resources required to construct each check dam, while the village where the dam is sited provides 30-40% of resources, participates in its construction, and is responsible for its maintenance.[3][4] The check dams allow the aquifers to be replenished during the monsoon, so that bore wells and hand-pumps are recharged.[4] Villagers have been able to grow up to three crops per year and keep livestock.[1][3][4] Ruia estimates that the resulting increased income gives a 750% return on the investment in the check dams.[3] Girls are able to attend school, as they no longer need to help their mothers carry water from long distances,[4] and students can undertake tertiary education.[3] Ruia is popularly known as Paani Mata ("Water Mother").[1][7] Ruia and her team have extended their efforts in other states such as Madhya Pradesh,[1][5] Maharashtra,[1][5] Odisha,[5] and the Dantewada district in Chhattisgarh,[1][5] and have plans to expand into Bihar,[2] Haryana,[2] Uttaranchal and Uttar Pradesh. In 2011, Ruia was awarded a Lakshmipat Singhania - IIM Lucknow National Leadership Award in the category of Community Service and Social Upliftment.[8][9] In 2016, she was nominated for the Women of Worth Social Award category.[6] In 2018, she received the India Eye International Human Rights Observer Achievement Award 2018.[10] Personal lifeAmla Ruia was born in Uttar Pradesh.[11] She currently lives in Malabar Hill, Mumbai, Maharashtra.[12] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 {{cite news |title=‘Water Mother’ Amla Ruia, transformed over 100 villages of Rajasthan using traditional water harvesting |url=http://vsktelangana.org/water-mother-amla-ruia-transformed-over-100-villages-of-rajasthan-using-traditional-water-harvesting/ |accessdate=9 February 2019 |work=Vishwa Samvad Kendra |agency=NewsBharati |date=18 April 2017}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Ruia, Amla}}{{India-activist-stub}}{{environmentalist-stub}}2. ^1 2 {{cite news |last1=Jayakumar |first1=P.B. |title=Healing Drought |url=https://www.businesstoday.in/magazine/features/amla-ruia-social-entrepreneur-founder-aakar-charitable-trust-social-work-constructed-dams-build-ponds/story/260389.html |accessdate=10 February 2019 |work=Business Today |date=8 October 2017 |location=India}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 {{Cite news|url = http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-09-23/special-report/34040130_1_check-dam-villagers-water-body|title = Water idea, sir ji!|last=Dey |first=Anindo |date=23 September 2012 |work=The Times of India |access-date= 16 January 2015}} 4. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite news |last1=Peerzeda |first1=Aamir Rafiq |title=Meet India's dam-building grandmother |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/business-42055000 |accessdate=9 February 2019 |work=BBC News |date=12 September 2017}} 5. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite news |last1=Kumar |first1=Pavan Manikanta |title=Meet The Woman Who Rescued 2 Lakh Villagers From Poverty And Tripled Their Revenue In 10 Years |url=https://thelogicalindian.com/my-social-responsibility/amla-woman-rescued-2-lakh-villagers-poverty-tripled-revenue-10-years/ |accessdate=9 February 2019 |work=The Logical Indian |date=5 August 2018}} 6. ^1 {{Cite news|url=http://sites.ndtv.com/women-of-worth/nominee-amla-ruia/|title=Women of Worth: About the Nominee - Amla Ruia|date=2016-02-11|work=Women Of Worth|access-date=2017-12-16|language=en-US}} 7. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.thebetterindia.com/21899/amla-ruia-check-dams-rajasthan-aakar-charitable-trust/|title=One Woman Made 100 Villages in Rajasthan Fertile Using Traditional Water Harvesting Methods|date=2015-12-15|work=The Better India|access-date=2017-12-16|language=en-US}} 8. ^{{Cite news|url = http://www.hindustantimes.com/business-news/premji-nayar-win-biz-awards/article1-966634.aspx|title = Leadership Awards|last= |first= |date = |work = |access-date = 16 January 2015|publisher = Hindustan times}} 9. ^{{Cite web|title = LAKSHMIPAT SINGHANIA - IIM, LUCKNOW NATIONAL LEADERSHIP AWARDS - 2013|url = http://www.lpsiimlawards.in/past-winners.html|website = www.lpsiimlawards.in|accessdate = 2015-09-18}} 10. ^{{cite news |title=IHRO to celebrate World Environment Day |url=https://www.sundayguardianlive.com/news/ihro-celebrate-world-environment-day |accessdate=9 February 2019 |work=The Sunday Guardian |date=14 April 2018}} 11. ^{{Cite web|title = About the Trust|url = http://aakarcharitabletrust.weebly.com/about-the-trust.html|website = Aakar Charitable Trust|accessdate = 2015-09-18}} 12. ^{{cite news |last1=Merchant |first1=Cyrus H. |title=Brightly flows the river |url=http://www.marwar.com/people/altruism/brightly-flows-the-river.html |accessdate=10 February 2019 |work=Marwar |date=18 May 2016 |location=India}} 9 : Indian environmentalists|Living people|People from Mumbai|Indian women environmentalists|Activists from Maharashtra|Women educators from Maharashtra|Educators from Maharashtra|Women human rights defenders|Year of birth missing (living people) |
