Industrial Wastewater issue in Bhiwadi

Along with some of my neighbours, I have been following up on the industrial wastewater issue in Bhiwadi, especially as it impacts residential areas like ours.

Along with my husband, I made two small films to explain the issue to other residents. You can see the problem described at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0OsnCZ6UwU&feature=youtu.be

And the solution as described by Govt. Agencies, is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgG-4nrbCzY

If you would like to help with the follow-up, please get in touch via your comments.

Greater Coucal - it spent a lot of time drinking water from this bucket !

Jump-cut

Another few years' gap in my posts. We are now in Bhiwadi, Rajasthan, and I am not active in my work life for now.

We have been developing a garden at our new house for the last two years. Have had a couple of Coucal's visiting. Fascinating, as they are large enough for us to observe more clearly what they do.. they seem to drink a lot of water ! They spent long minutes at the several water bowls in the garden. And hopped around on the grass, and in and out of trees. It is a treat to watch one of these birds. I see on the net that they are found in Haryana, W Bengal, Karanataka and Kerala.
