This month, the monthly publication of the North East India Water Talks (NEIWT) "The Water News Collectives" is dedicated to looking into the Annual Ground Water Quality Report for 2024, released on December 31, 2024, by Union Minister of Jal Shakti, Shri CR Patil, from a Northeastern states' lens.
NEIWT (North-East India Water Talks) aims to improve the effectiveness of local actors for decision-making processes in water management and create a workspace for the people working on water in the Northeast of India. The idea of Northeast India Water Talks evolved through a series of conversation with lay people as well as those who work on water-related issues. These informal and spontaneous conversations, one on one, or in small groups, in different parts of the region, began in the course of attending workshops, seminars on water, and running campaigns on various water issues across the region in the past several years. It also reveals the level of public awareness and understanding of the domain of water and its relations with other elements of nature – air, soil, plants, forest, and ecosystems.
