Impactful Stories

Ecological restoration of Kamavari river at Bhiwandi

Ecological restoration of rivers has become very challenging which is same with the Kamavari river in Bhiwandi as it is the main lifeline of the city being the major water resource. The pollutants from the textile units, slaughterhouses, tabelas, etc. contribute to the pollution and largely encroachments and siltation due to obstruction to the regular flow are diminishing the river as a whole. Integration of saline water has affected groundwater too.

Efforts for cleaning of Yamuna River at Agra City Ghats

The Yamuna River is polluted beyond imagination due to the callous attitude of the authorities and public ignorance. Hence, the Yamuna can be seen across Agra city converted into a Dhobi Ghat and garbage dumping site. Agricultural lands also are gradually being converted into brick furnaces which are causing huge carbon emissions presently and these practices on land are just to benefit builder lobby in future for constructions. Such loosing of agricultural lands and pollution of the Yamuna and other major rivers is damaging the sustainability of Indians.
