dam-l LS: New CSE articles on water
What's new at the Centre for Science and Environment, New Delhi, India
Most rivers in India have been reduced to sewers, with scientists having
dubbed a few as ‘dead’ rivers. From the mighty Ganga to the small and
seemingly insignificant Noyyal, all have been abused ceaselessly.
Government plans to clean some of these rivers have ended in failure. In
this grim scenario, the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) aims to
hold a National Conference on Water Pollution – with special emphasis on
river pollution, in December 1999. CSE invites NGOs, scientists, academics,
policy-makers and other interested parties to contact us at the earliest at

Manna from heaven
Delhi is at the mercy of its riparian neighbours for water. Experts now
say, water harvesting might be a step in the right direction towards
achieving self-sufficiency in this precious resource.
