[India Development Review @idr_online]

#EcosystemDevelopment | @utharanarayanan, @veenas_water & @VHosoor highlight how development models often overlook natural capital and focus solely on economic shifts, and explain what measuring the liveability of a place can tell us.

[SunoIndia @SunoIndia_in]

Amidst one of Karnataka's worst droughts, Bangalore faces a grim reality: becoming unlivable due to severe water scarcity.
In the latest ep of #ClimateEmergency, @RichhariyaSneha dives deep with Shreya Nath @WELLLabs_org.

@SunoIndia_in Very insightful discussion @SunoIndia_in and @nathshreya!

#WorldWaterDay: We reviewed wastewater reuse policies and action plans across Indian states to determine reuse options, targets, and water quality standards. Read this analysis by @cheshta_rajora, @ShashankPalur and @sysaahm: https://t.co/rJVOJzfPyo #WWD2024

[WELL Labs @WELLLabs_org]

#Bengaluru generates 1,941 MLD/day of wastewater but only 72 MLD is reused. Despite the reuse potential, it largely relies on the #Cauvery & groundwater for its freshwater needs. This may have to change in the long-run. A look at the city's water balance: https://t.co/vBAvbRaTux

[the echo network @theechonetwork]

Our first #podcast episode of #2024 is here!

Listen to @veenas_water & @Scientistinpink talk about bringing science to society & building an #India where #economy & #ecology goes hand-in-hand.
This & a lot more in this ep of #ImagineIndia: https://t.co/tXgnwqjOZQ

Bengaluru, with its 2700+ decentralized STPs, is a global leader in water reuse! But challenges remain. @WELLLabs_org and @Eawag have partnered up to study this system and how it could be improved for better water security in the city. Read more➡️ https://t.co/CeFS3iNUmh

@dsouza_craig @WELLLabs_org @SelfShakti @SwmrtBengaluru @WasteWarriorsIN @AdityaMaruvada1 @Watervagabond @RainmatterOrg @zenx Both dry and wet waste are pressing problems because there is minimal waste management infrastructure in rural areas.

Besides, a lot of the waste is burnt, with severe ecological consequences.

We need your help!
As part of our Green Rural Livelihoods (GRL) work, we are collecting resources on how to manage dry waste in rural areas (3 levels: households, community-based & gram panchayats). If anything comes to mind, please fill in this form: https://t.co/gjwErJWRbG

[WELL Labs @WELLLabs_org]

Our workshop on 'Building Water-Resilient Cities: Strategies for Wastewater Reuse in Urban India' seeks to bring together diverse stakeholders in water management & urban planning to facilitate cross-learning & effectively diagnose problems.

@zenx It's terrible that cities across India, especially 2- and 3-tier ones, are prioritising building flyovers, parking lots, traffic intersections at roundabouts (where there were earlier gardens) when public transport could improve mobility at a fraction of the cost.

[WELL Labs @WELLLabs_org]

We are co-convening a seminar on 'Innovation in Water and Climate: Water and Agriculture' at @siwi_www. Join @veenas_water and co. on 22 August at 2:30 pm IST as they take you through some innovations that serve vulnerable communities.
