Chennai's disappearing 'Kazhiveli'
Posted on 16 Sep, 2013 12:37 AMThe term wetland is a bit difficult to understand. Is it land or water or land that is wet? It is likely this difficulty in comprehending the term that has led to the sad state of affairs for most wetlands in the country today.

Ingenious system to manage sewage in Kolkata
Posted on 11 Sep, 2013 08:48 PMThey take your pain and give you what you need. They will absorb the excess showers that our cities can’t handle and replenish water underground when our taps run dry. Often underestimated, these shallow water bodies are also home to countless life forms and serve as winter destinations for distant migratory birds. Blame me for being philosophical but I equate wetlands to mothers.
