We ended 2025 with an exciting milestone.
Our first project in Mumbai made Maharashtra the 11𝐭𝐡 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 where Clean-Water is helping rejuvenate waterbodies across India.

In partnership with a reputed NGO, we deployed 𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐛𝐢𝐨𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐞𝐭𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐚𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 across two lakes in the Mira Bhayander region.

Parameters such as BOD, COD, and key nutrients are already within limits, demonstrating the impact of combining science-backed restoration with nature-based solutions.
Our floating wetlands are actively absorbing excess nutrients and supporting beneficial microbial activity, while the aerators are increasing dissolved oxygen levels and improving overall ecosystem health.

With continued operation, we expect the water quality to improve even further in the coming months.

Lakes, ponds, rivers and wetlands do much more than store water.
They recharge groundwater, support biodiversity, improve climate resilience, and sustain communities.

Yet many of our waterbodies are struggling with pollution, sewage inflows, and poor water quality.

Our goal is simple: healthier water, healthier ecosystems, and a more sustainable future.

Our work at Annapurna Lake and 30+ waterbodies all around India has shown that with the right solutions, even degraded waterbodies can be brought back to life.

This World Environment Day, let’s move beyond awareness and focus on action.

Hundreds of dead fish floating on a lake are not just an environmental incident. It is a warning sign.
Recently, 𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐣𝐚𝐲 𝐋𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐃𝐞𝐥𝐡𝐢 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐚 𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥 as extreme heat, low water levels, pollution, and reduced dissolved oxygen created conditions that aquatic life could not survive.

Experts point out that falling water levels concentrate pollutants, while rising temperatures reduce oxygen in the water.
The result is often visible in the form of dead fish, foul odours, and a collapsing aquatic ecosystem.
What is happening at Sanjay Lake is unfortunately not unique.
A few years ago, 𝐀𝐧𝐧𝐚𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐚 𝐋𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬. Poor water quality, organic pollution, and deteriorating ecological conditions had impacted the health of the lake ecosystem.

This is the reality for women in Berasta Faliya village in Gujarat’s Valsad district.

Using ropes and iron ladders, women are risking their lives to reach small amounts of water trapped between rocks inside dried wells.
Some have reportedly slipped and fallen while trying to fetch water.

What makes this situation more shocking is that Valsad is known as the “Cherrapunji of Gujarat” because of its high rainfall.
Yet today, families are waiting for hours to collect just one or two pots of water.

Around 1,200 people in the village depend on eight wells, all of which dry up during summer.
Residents also say that a major water supply project worth crores failed to deliver water even after pipelines and taps were installed years ago.
Many of these taps are now rusting without ever supplying water.

This post is a reminder that 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 is still a daily struggle for many communities in India.
Water infrastructure is not only about building pipelines. It is about ensuring water actually reaches people when they need it most.

These are not just emotional words from citizens.
They are a warning sign for every growing city in India.

Once an important groundwater recharge source for parts of Bengaluru,
Sankey Tank is now facing 𝐬𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝, 𝐬𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐰, 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐫𝐮𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐥𝐬, 𝐛𝐢𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐝𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐞.
Environmental groups and residents are raising concerns that 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐮𝐧𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 have altered the lake’s natural hydrology.

Surfaces that once allowed rainwater to percolate into the ground are being replaced with hard structures.
Feeder channels are no longer functioning naturally. Sewage-contaminated water continues to enter the lake.
When a lake loses its ecological function, the impact goes far beyond the waterbody itself.

Groundwater levels decline.
Urban flooding risks increase.
Biodiversity disappears.
Public spaces lose their environmental value. Cities slowly become less resilient to climate stress.
What is happening at Sankey Tank is not an isolated issue. It reflects a 𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐫𝐛𝐚𝐧 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚.

During the intense summer heatwave at Khandala Ghat, a monkey stood in front of an MSRTC bus and refused to move.
Passengers soon realized the animal was severely dehydrated. The moment water was offered, more monkeys emerged from the nearby forest searching for the same thing. Water.
That single moment says a lot about the summer of 2026.

India is witnessing record-breaking heat.
Several cities have already crossed 45°C, and prolonged heatwaves are becoming more frequent and intense.

According to climate studies, heatwave days in India have increased significantly over the last decade, putting both people and wildlife under severe stress.

Dry forests, disappearing water sources, rising temperatures, and habitat loss are forcing animals into human spaces simply to survive.
This viral moment is emotional. But it is also alarming.

We urgently need better water arrangements in forest and ghat regions, restoration of natural water bodies, and climate-resilient ecosystems that support both humans and wildlife.

This is exactly what is happening in Guernsey.

Drone footage recently revealed that raw sewage from around 75 homes at Fort George was being released close to Soldier’s Bay shoreline.
For many swimmers and visitors, the news came as a shock.

One swimmer shared that he passed through visible sewage in the water and later suffered stomach illness for days.
Health experts have warned that sewage released so close to shore can spread harmful bacteria, make people sick, and damage marine life.
Authorities are now testing water quality to understand the level of risk.

What makes this more concerning is that Guernsey pumps nearly 15 million litres of sewage into the sea every day through offshore outfall systems.
While officials say ocean currents help dilute the waste, many people are now questioning how safe these waters really are.

This is a reminder that water pollution is not a distant problem. It can exist even in places known for clean coastlines and high living standards.
When sewage enters our waterbodies, the risk is not just environmental. It becomes a public health issue.
Would you feel safe entering the water after hearing this?

By April 30, 2026, water storage in 166 major reservoirs dropped to just 38.72% of total capacity.

Several states are experiencing faster depletion than last year.
States such as Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Assam, Tripura, and West Bengal are experiencing severe water stress.
Some reservoirs have reached critically low levels. Chandan Dam in Jharkhand is already at 0%. Vaigai in Tamil Nadu is close to 15%.
This is not just about numbers.
Low reservoir levels affect drinking water, farming, industries, groundwater and ecosystems.

Millions of people depend on these water sources every day.
Major river basins like Krishna, Ganga, Godavari, Narmada and Kaveri are also showing declining storage.

The warning signs are clear. India needs stronger water management, better groundwater recharge,
protection of lakes and rivers and long-term planning for climate resilience.
Water security cannot wait until reservoirs run empty.

Seeing our work recognized in a global knowledge platform like ICLEI reinforces an important idea: waterbody restoration is not just an environmental goal, it’s a public health and urban resilience priority.

Annapurna Lake’s transformation showcases our long-term commitment to ecological restoration.
As cities continue to face increasing pressure on water resources, scalable and nature-based solutions will play a critical role in shaping a more sustainable future.

Grateful to everyone who contributed to this journey and to ICLEI for showcasing impactful restoration efforts. , Dr. Monalisa Sen, Dr. Rinku Singh, Saira Kurup, Sasi Madambi
