D(r)ying Rivers of India D(r)ying Rivers of India. Take a virtual tour across India to see how once mighty rivers are becoming like intermittent streams which run dry during parts of the year and are in flood at other times, due to a combination of factors.

Today is International Rivers Day.
Healthy rivers are critical for all life on our planet. Somnath Mukherji (AID Development Coordinator) talking about the importance of balanced ecosystems, notes: "In villages of Jharkhand in central India, when forests disappeared, rivers disappeared along with them."

We'd like to shine a spotlight on two environmental projects that we support: Matu Jan Sangathan (Uttarakhand) and Center for Research and Advocacy Manipur (Manipur). Both these organizations strive to understand, address and mitigate the tremendous human and ecological impact of large dams in India.
