Project Oasis, executed by the International Association for Human Values (IAHV), focuses on creating sustainable water resources for water-scarce villages in India. By leveraging scientific research and local expertise, we build check dams to ensure year-round water availability through rainwater harvesting. Partnering with Aakar Charitable Trust, which has constructed over 350 check dams and positively impacted 400,000 lives in Rajasthan, our mission is to transform the lives of over 2 million villagers by building 1,000 check dams by 2030. Established in 1997 by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, IAHV promotes essential human values like respect, non-violence, and social service. Our diverse team of entrepreneurs, engineers, and scientists spans the US, Canada, South Africa, and India, working together to achieve these goals.
Our Mission
Bring a positive change in the lives of 2 Million+ villagers by building 1000 check dams by 2030.
Ensuring Sustainability and Safety with IAHV
The International Association for Human Values (IAHV) was established in Geneva in 1997 by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. It serves as a global platform dedicated to addressing humanitarian issues by promoting and uplifting human values. Registered as a 501(c)(3) organization in the United States, IAHV fosters the daily practice of essential human values, including contentedness, respect for all people and the environment, non-violence, and a commitment to social service.

How we build a dam?
Constructing a dam is a complex and multifaceted process that begins with the construction phase starts with diverting the river flow through channels or tunnels, preparing the foundation, and then placing materials to build the dam. Concrete dams involve placing and curing concrete in layers, while earthfill or rockfill dams require compacting earth or rock. Structural elements like spillways and powerhouses for hydroelectric dams are also constructed. Once the main structure is completed, the reservoir is gradually filled, with constant monitoring to ensure structural integrity

The Process of Building a Dam
Building a dam involves several critical steps, beginning with a comprehensive feasibility study to assess the project’s viability, including hydrological, geological, environmental, and socio-economic factors. Once confirmed, detailed design and engineering work determine the dam’s specifications. The pre-construction phase involves securing permits, funding, and resources. Construction starts with site preparation, including land clearing, excavation, and river diversion if necessary. The dam structure is built using materials like concrete, earth, or rock in carefully planned stages to ensure stability. Throughout construction, environmental and safety measures are strictly enforced. After completion, the dam undergoes rigorous inspections and tests before commissioning, followed by continuous monitoring and maintenance to ensure long-term functionality and safety.
