SUMMARY:Rivers & People: A Disconnect in Times of Scarcity ~ by Paani.Earth
DESCRIPTION:Rivers & People: A Disconnect in Times of Scarcity\nCreating a Space to Think\, Ideate and Protect Rivers\nBengaluru\, India’s economic engine\, is a water-starved city. The Cauvery river\, its lifeline\, is drying up and severely polluted\, while the Western Ghats forests\, where its waters originate\, are rapidly degrading. Yet\, the government continues to push for unsound projects like the Mekedatu Dam and Yettinahole Drinking Water project\, further damaging the rivers and forests that sustain us. Amid this\, the city remains disconnected from its rivers\, yet perpetually thirsty. \nThis session will begin with a discussion followed by songs about rivers sung by children and an English adaptation of Komal Swaminathan’s 1980 satirical Tamil play Thaneer Thaneer. Set in a drought-ridden village in Tamil Nadu\, the play follows a stranger who helps the villagers harness water against political and natural challenges\, showing the power of a community deeply connected to its water sources. \nIt promises to be a valuable experience for anyone who cares about the environment\, our rivers\, and the future we are shaping for generations to come. \nRSVP Here \nPaani.Earth\, a citizen-led think tank\, is dedicated to river conservation. The team will share their efforts to protect the rivers that sustain us. Through this session\, they aim to foster a deep understanding and compassion for rivers — crucial for meaningful change. \nSpeakers and Performers \n\n\n\n\n\nNidhi Paliwal- Curator & Researcher\, Paani.Earth\nNirmala Gowda – Curator & Researcher\, Paani.Earth\nMadhuri Mandava – Curator & Researcher\, Paani.Earth\nKhushbu K Birawat – Curator & Researcher\, Paani.Earth\nGoodEarth Malhar Community Theatre Group

SUMMARY:The What\, How and Why of Lake Restoration ~ Azim Premji University
DESCRIPTION:Enough has been written and described about Bengaluru being the city of lakes and tanks. However\, many of these public spaces continue to be in disrepair despite the tremendous amount of work undertaken towards restoring lakes\, highlighting the need for more sustained efforts in this direction. Numerous initiatives have focussed on protecting Bengaluru’s lakes\, but these initiatives are often confronted with a lack of resources\, limited understanding of management policies\, and inadequate ecological considerations of outcomes. \nAs part of their initiatives on climate change and sustainability\, Azim Premji University is organising a one-day workshop on understanding the processes involved in lake restoration. We aim to provide a platform for communities to come together and learn about the importance of lake restoration\, and understand how to engage in restoration efforts. \nEngage in meaningful discussion and dialogue around lake restoration processes\, and learn from the experiences of communities that have succeeded in similar efforts. The workshop will include citizen groups\, ecologists\, researchers and practitioners experienced in the area of restoration of lakes. \nThe workshop will highlight the role of citizens and communities\, the collaboration of stakeholders including governments\, resident associations\, civil society groups\, and donors\, and will detail the various steps in lake restoration\, through conversations with experts involved in this journey for decades. In addition\, the workshop will underline the need for effective communication and dissemination to garner public support. \nRegister Now
