• Water Bodies Rejuvenation
  Keystone Foundation is focused on the eco-restoration of water bodies in the Nilgiris, addressing critical but overlooked resources like springs and wetlands. They have inventoried 300 springs and over 300 wells, revealing a water crisis affecting towns and rural areas despite the district being classified as water surplus. Their studies highlight drying springs and conflicts over water between communities and wildlife. They emphasize the importance of monitoring water quality and levels, conducting natural resource management studies, and exploring innovative solutions like floating wetland islands for water purification and habitat restoration.
