Many Rivers are turned into sewer line / Sewerage Nullah, once they enter the town / city areas. For example from Assam(India) - Bharalu in Guwahati, Kolong in Nagaon, Bega in Mangaldoi, Bhogdoi in Jorhat etc. etc. --- So it's the prime responsibilities of residents of those towns / city to take this Initiatives for revival of these Rivers. Let's get ready and united to take this challenge . ----------- Hence, presently a new Initiative is being started as --- "Revive YOUR Rivers --- Maintain YOUR Rivers". --------------- It's likely to be started in the 1st week of June, 2017, just before the forthcoming World Environment Day-2017 on 5th June. The proposed Initiatives is quite relevant while celebrating the WED-2017. Because, the Theme of the forthcoming WED-2017 is --- "Connecting Nature to People". --- This initiative is proposed as the 1st initiative of this kind for River Kolong in Nagaon District of Assam. Approximately 1 Km length of River Kolong and it's neighbourhood is proposed to be considered for this effort on a massive Cleanliness Drive. All are requested to join such effort actively with a pledge by ALL and especially the STUDENTS to take care of our Rivers / Lakes / Wetlands etc. as a part of Social Responsibilities/ Commitments. The whole initiative is named as "Green Endeavour".                                               Activities are proposed as follows ---------- First one or two days (1st week of June, 2017) will involve extensive awareness activities in the neighborhood of Kolong. Then finally the Cleanliness Drive will be taken up to make one example in the selected portion River Kolong ( approximately 1 Km length). The involvement of the residents in the areas will also be requested. In fact, community must be involved actively in the cleanliness drive. After that all the volunteers will visit those areas time to time for monitoring. --------------------- Finally, on 5th June, 2017, one public meeting will be organized to celebrate the World Environment Day-2017 and to declare about the whole activities requesting for sustainability.       Thanks and Regards.

    Bonjour En cote d'ivoire à  Abidjan on m'appelle pour résoudre une problématique sur une rivière qui érode sur son passage les terres de bordures dont celle de la centrale électrique. après bien des recherches il s'avère que cette rivière n'est pas à l'origine d'une source mais c'est une rivière d'excréments.

    La majorité de la population mondiale rejette ses excréments dans l'environnement et principalement dans les milieux hydrauliques naturels. Tant que l'on considèrera que ces milieux naturels sont la poubelle de la domesticité humaine, la pollution ne fera qu'augmenter.

    Il en est de même dans votre projet.

    La véritable problématique de l'eau de surface est intgimement liée à la problématique de la gestion des eaux usées sa principale source de pollution. Les eaux usées à  ce jour ne subissent aucune épuration de leur pollution. On est en 2017 dans la même configuration de 1000 ans en arrière : la défécation à l'air libre malgré des milliards de dollards investis dans des infrastructures tout autant onéreuses qu'inefficaces 

    Hello

    in Côte d'Ivoire in Abidjan called me to solve a problem on a river that eroded land borders in its path which of the power plant. After much research it turns out that this river is not originally from a source, but it's a river of excrement.

    The majority of the world's population rejects his feces in the environment and mainly in natural water settings. As long as we consider that these natural environments are the trash of human domesticity, pollution will only increase.

    It is the same in your project.

    The real problem of surface water is intgimement related to the issue of water management waste his main source of pollution. Wastewater to date are no purification of their pollution. We're in 2017 in the same configuration of 1000 years back: defecation in the open despite the billions of dollars invested in that ineffective just as expensive infrastructure 

  3. Very well written! It's a shame that in so many developing countries such as India we treat rivers that provide so beneficial uses for us humans from drinking, agriculture, commercial and industrial uses is being so wasted and treated literally like a sewer dump. I wish you the best of luck with your cleanup efforts. Just curious to know because here in the States in California we get a lit of State funding and support for river restoration and cleanup efforts whether it's for the Sacramento River or the San Diego River that are considered impaired for high levels of sediment, bacteria and heavy metals from construction, commercial and industrial sites, so how much does the Indian government agencies invest in improving river water quality and environmental/public health with these restoration efforts? After all funding and community engagement of this important work is absolutely key to success and I know this from personal experience having worked on lower San Diego River restoration efforts for three years that was quite successful.

  4. Great effort, hope we give back the due respect to our rivers that they deserve. After having been blessed with a steady supply of clean water in our taps, we almost forgot that this elixir comes out of the rivers or the ponds which we have so nonchalantly polluted and snuffed to death. Wonder, how long we can stay foolish to imagine that the water we extract from these bodies can stay fresh and pure despite the abuse. Imagine that water constitute 90% of our bodies and our cells do share the same distress as these rivers, if you thought that only the rivers were dying, have a look at the mirror and if you saw the river in you, go ahead and clean the river. Kudos Mr Nripendra, wish you all the success for your cleanup drive.
