Agenda:
1.) To hear from users of the Portal about what they find useful on the Portal, and what we should work on to enhance the value of the Portal.

4.) Sharada Prasad, India Water Portal staff member has been travelling on mobike across the country in the cause of water (see http://www.indiawaterportal.org/k2k). He will join us and share his photos and experiences from across the country. It will surely be an interesting discussion!

We request you to forward this mail to others who might be interested. For clarifications you could contact me at vijay@arghyam.org or 0-98801 37097
A request: As the Water Portal is an open platform for sharing of data and knowledge, we request you to bring with you useful data or other material that could be added to the Portal. It could be in soft- or hardcopy format.

7. Hi Everyone. Its really
Hi Everyone.
Its really excellent work & intitiative by u all.
I am regular visitor of this particular site, it is very knowledgable & informative. If all of you could document the proceedings & hearings of the informal consultation, it will be beneficial to all other people who visits this site & could be inform about water portal site.
I just want to add about, that whereever there is concerned of govt.about pipeline of water supply, if u check it in all the regions, everywhere it is leakage which is a prime responsibilty of the govt. to repaire it with good material.Everywhere water is getting wastage espe.during summer. People who knows it most of them inform about but no one shows there initiative to rectify it.If such incidences are urgently taken care, can be elimainated wasting the water.
That's All.
I would like to meet in consultation meet but due to short time it will not be possible. My sincere wishes for all of you.
With Regards
