For the last 50 years, the Bhilai Steel Plant, which is India's largest integrated steel plant has got its supply of iron ore from Dalli Rajhara's mines. Dalli Rajhara, a municipality which is also an industrial city is located 90km south of Durg in Chhattisgarh. It is a part of the Rajhara group of mines. Iron ore mined in this area are of two types - hematite and magnetite.

Karamana, the pride of Thiruvananthapuram and an important source of drinking water for the city, is now dreaded and diseased.

I decided to trace the path of the river to see how bad the damage really was. 

Tawang, a mystical, magical place is nestled in the mountains of Arunachal Pradesh. Indians not from this region as well as foreigners need special permission to visit this restricted area. It is only accessible through a narrow mountain pass. A road snakes through this pass, which is the second highest motorable pass in the world, and at a height of 13,700 feet, reaches a crystal clear lake.

I was investigating the impact of the state government's push for 100% of child births to happen in the hospitals.

On one such visit, he read about the volunteer program, which encourages non-water experts to engage with water data.
