Posted on November 13, 2007 | Filed Under Announcements
You can write a guest post for the blog and be published !
The India Water Portal blog is envisioned as a frequently updated section with short, informal entries about all kinds of things in the water sector. We welcome blog entries from anyone on a wide range of topics. Your entry would be published if : it contains relevant, useful, correct information, and is reasonably well-written (we may edit it). One or two photographs or images would contribute highly to making the blog more readable but are not compulsory. Typically the entry should not be more than 700 words and smaller entries are also fine. We will mention your name as the author of that post.
Suggested topics are :
- Your notes and impressions from taking part in a conference. We are very interested in such kind of content. We may even pay for detailed multiple posts covering an important conference. Check with us !
- Your product in the water and sanitation sector. A brief factual account written in an informal style with a couple of photographs is what we are looking for.
- A recent project of your NGO or other organisation that you feel is worth highlighting for more people to hear about.
- Awards, interesting news items, announcements, new books published …
- We are very interested in blog entries relating to vernacular language content of any sort (books, websites, IEC material etc)
- You can read through the past blog posts to see what kind of topics we cover
- Good photographs that you have taken with a water theme. If you submit a photo, it becomes available for use by anyone with attribution to the creator (ie you)
So go ahead and get published ! You may even win a prize from us if the entry is particularly good or you submit lots of good entries. Mail your entry to portal@arghyam.org with subject “Material for Blog Post”

Hello everybody how are you?
The Fourth International Conference on Environmental Education
Date: 24-28th November 2007
Venue: Centre for Environment Education, Ahmedabad, India
The Fourth International Conference on Environmental Education being held at Ahmedabad will be an ideal forum to look at EE - the foundation for ESD and bridge the gaps between these two since this is vital to travel on the road to sustainability. The Conference will also meet the urgent need to bring together the Governments of various nations as well as the innumerable non-governmental organisations that work on EE and ESD issues onto a common forum to reformulate EE programs with ESD-related considerations and in the context of the Decade.

Hello,
I just wanted to highlight one interesting low-cost technology for purifying water contaminated with microorganisms and other disease-causing organisms. Simple box-type or Cookit solar cookers can reach pasteurisation temperatures for water (65-70oC) on typical sunny days. Simple ones made of cardboard also cost under Rs1000 to build and most of the materials can be produced locally. Note that this method does not remove dissolved or suspended solids.
For further information on the technology see www.solarcooking.org and www.solarcookers.org

Hallo water drinking fellow humans ,
There are over 60 water purifiers available in India .All claim to give safe drinking water ,but the price range goes fom 1.600 to 40.000,- ….why ….?
Most of them give safe, but dead water !
All the techniques used are killing the bad and the good parts in the water .
Where to find test results ,infos, which water purifiers one should buy, which are not just safe, but also give you a healthy water ?
The big claims of the companies ,how true are they
will be thankfull for any advice !!!
