India Water Portal is a website that shares knowledge and builds communities around water and related issues in India. Managed by Arghyam, the Portal has become a valuable archive of resources, working papers, reports, data, articles, news, events, opportunities and discussions on water. Water is a very local topic. Surely you have had a personal experience with water, whether positive or negative at some point. India Water Portal is a platform that empowers you to share experiences and solutions, talk to experts, join conversations and learn about the work that others are doing to conserve our fast depleting water resources. India Water Portal was encouraged by the National Knowledge Commission, which proposed the need for knowledge portals in various areas back in 2005. Since then, it has evolved in the spirit of openness and sharing, to become one of the foremost sources of information in India for water, sanitation, agriculture, the environment, climate change, biodiversity, and other related thematic areas. India Water Portal is managed and run by a team based all over India. It is supported by Arghyam, a philanthropic trust that works in water and sanitation.
