People and Organisations

On 29^th January, my colleague Binayak and I went to Nelmangala to participate in the "Save Arkavathy"Walk. The Walk was organized hoping that the participants would learn from the experiences of the villagers along the Arkavathy River and be able to generate interest in them to join the walk.

How polluted are our rivers? Assessments vary, but all point to serious contamination.

C.P. Kumar of the National Institute of Hydrology, Roorkee provides a list of web communities on hydrology:

www.allaboutwater.org is an interesting site for laypersons but also to an extent for water resources researchers, covering a wide range of facts relating water vis-à-vis our planet and the human race and presenting its information in a clear, user-friendly way.
