Dear All,Thanks to Bhaskar ...

Dear All, Thanks to Bhaskar Mallimadugula, for sharing an important piece of information, which might be quite useful in this regard. But, a more detailed success story in this connection may perhaps give more insight into it's application oriented issues. However, to start with, the following options may perhaps be initiated immediately. (a) To stop OPEN Defecation along the river banks. (b) To demolish all sorts of sources of pollution along the Rivers, including the insanitary Toilets (which is more prevalnt along River Bharalu, Kolong etc. in Assam). (b) To ensure necessary treatment to the wastewater outfalls into the Rivers. Untreated dischrgees from Industries / Drainage from residential areas should be taken care of before being led eventually to the Rivers. (c) To initiate massive Awareness Generation among the inhabitatnts in the River Banks and then necessary Capacity Building measures to enable them to own the responsibility to maintain a good water health in the Rivers. (d) Simultaneous Monitoring and Course correction activities. Thanking All. Regards. Nripendra Kumar Sarma Nagaon, Assam, India
