The picture is of a floating barrier made to arrest floating trash or garbage, designed by Bengaluru based AlphaMERS (patent applied).  This does not treat chemical or dissolved pollutants. This design, originally made with River Ganga in mind, will now be applied to lakes and water streams with flowing waters. Long sections of such barriers are connected end to end, running from the riverbank or shore, laid diagonally across the flowing waters,…

Centre for Science and Environment recognizes this need and has developed a five-day hands on training programme aimed at giving practical exposure to participants on wastewater treatment for industrial and urban wastewater management including reuse and…

E-waste is one of the fastest growing waste streams in India- with a growth rate of 10% per annum- the generation of e-waste is increasing exponentially every year. This can be attributed to globalization of the economy making electronic products an integral part of our lives. Also, India’s low manufacturing costs, skilled labour, raw materials, availability of engineering skills and opportunity to meet demand in the populous Indian market have contributed significantly to facilitate the…

My main focus is on how can a farmer manage the problem related to water, if he is dependent on rain water & if there is no other source like bore, well or canal water then, what should be the farmers role. Everyday there is a news of suicide committed by a farmer, because he is not able to do farming, not able to clear the loan. Sorry but feel like one day all farmers will sell there land to builders or politicians. Everywhere we will see only buildings,complexes or  industries, no…

Please share if any thing that can help farmers to solve the water problems.

In an increasingly natural resource-constrained world, corporations should measure, manage and mitigate their impact on the ecosystems where they operate and through their supply chains. To help build this capacity into company infrastructure, the India Business & Biodiversity Initiative (IBBI) is launching CII-IBBI Certified Training (CICT) on Managing Natural Capital.

CICT is designed to improve the understanding of managers and employees across business functions…

Clean and plentiful water provides the foundation for prosperous communities. We rely on clean water to survive, yet right now we are heading towards a water crisis. Changing climate patterns are threatening lakes and rivers, and key sources that we tap for drinking water are being overdrawn or tainted with pollution. Dirty water is the world's biggest health risk, and continues to threaten both quality of life and public health in the global village. When water from rain and…

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is an important tool to inform decision-makers, regulators and stakeholders, about the possible environmental, social and economic costs of the proposed project. To be effective, it requires the active involvement of all concerned stakeholders.

There is a genuine need to develop the capacity of the state-level regulators and state level expert appraisal Committee (SEAC) to screen and scope the EIA process, to conduct transparent public…

 It was Pepsi 8 years ago and now it’s Maggi, both popular brands in controversy. So who is to blame? The manufacturer for not being wholly transparent or the consumer for not taking interest to know what he is consuming. In a way both, I would say. As consumers, we are blindly purchasing many products based on price and sensory perceptions. We hardly take a little time and effort to know what is getting into our digestive system or what we apply to our body. People do a lot of product…
