Talks on water were not limited only to discussing different aspects of usages and management of water but also expanded to cover subjects like literature, history, politics, identity, and bio-cultural diversity and heritage of the region. Multiple interests and actors influence water management and policy-making.
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.
