Implemented by Social Change & Development (SCAD) near Tuticorin in Tamil Nadu, Project Ooranie helped restore three disused traditional village water reservoirs or ooranies to secure village water for farming & domestic use. Project Pisces built on this work by supporting the cultivation & harvesting of fish within the same three reservoirs which enables some 2,500 villagers to annually consume a share of the fish & to harvest & sell the fish to raise community funds for ooranie maintenance.
