The article talks about how they're using rainwater to help with water shortages in a village in India. They're working with volunteers and students to build and check rainwater systems for families. Even though the village has a lot of water around, it's not safe to drink due to pollution. They face challenges like the ground being wet, the soil not being stable, and the weather changing a lot. It's also hard to share the work and water fairly among families. They're trying to solve these problems by working with a women's group. They're designing the systems in the USA and building them in India, so both places can learn from each other.
