  2. Our Belief The qualities of the Ganga water are: Coolness, sweetness, transparency, high tonic property, wholesomeness, potability, ability to remove evils, ability to resuscitate from swoon caused by dehydration, digestive property and ability to retain wisdom

  3. Challenge Protecting the river system • Un-polluted Flow ( ) • Longitudinal, lateral and vertical connectivity • Adequate space for various river functions • Ecological entity • Continuously flow ( ) Adequate provision for soil, water and energy Growing population, urbanization, industrialization and agriculture

  4. GRBMP by Consortia of 7 IITs Objectives and Organizational structure

  5. Our Philosophy Can not afford to Experiment with River Like Ganga! Precautionary Principles must apply wherever knowledge gaps and uncertainties exist Apply modern science and new technologies but with traditional wisdom GyanDhara + Jana Gyan Supportive Capacityand Assimilative Capacity

  6. The Mantra: Thirteen actions are prohibited on approaching the scared waters of the Ganga, namely: • Defecation • Ablutions • Discharge of wastewater • Throwing of used floral offerings • Rubbing of filth • Body shampooing • Frolicking • Acceptance of donations • Obscenity • Offering of inappropriate praises or even hymns in a incorrect way • Discarding of garments • Beating and • Swimming across, in particular

  7. Our Strategy Working: Parts to Whole Thought Process: Whole to Parts Parts ! Priority: Immediate Attention; Availability of Resources; Time Required
