A dead river revived to life in Kerala, India #WATWB

We humans are advancing in every field and inventing new technologies to make our lives easier and comfortable. But, we are polluting our mother nature to a great extent in the process which might impact us very badly in future. When I read this news about reviving a 'dead river', I felt, hopeful about the world we are living in.

In kerala, at Budhanoor panchayat, Kuttemperoor river almost vanished due to illegal sand mining and severe pollution. But, 700 people worked for 70 days to clean the river and fortunately, water level increased slowly bringing life to the river. Now, people in the village are using the river water for bathing and washing. Read more details from the article here.

  1. Reviving a dead river! That is so wonderful. Industrialisation turned humans against earth. Now we have to deal with pollution and environmental degradation among other evils. Sand-mining has seen rivers drying up here in Kenya as well.

  8. Wow! I can't even begin to imagine what a daunting task that was. Layer by layer, removing everything that should not have been there . . . I'll bet it's beautiful now for everyone who knows what it was at its worst. What a great story to share.
