Dear Friend,
Key lessons learnt during ongoing pandemic highlighted the need for developing robust health infrastructure in coming years as well as expediting vaccination for all. It is also evident that for the prevention of the next pandemic (a zoonotic disease), we need to maintain balance between environment and development as well as we need to work more deliberately on ecosystem restoration.
In water sector, this requires the conventional approach to be more integrated that allows creating blue – green infrastructure / spaces. Decentralised treatment of wastewater, wetland restoration and rainwater harvesting to recharge the depleting ground water and improve the river health. We have done several pioneering works that can guide rethinking conventional water management. CSE School of Water and Waste has updated the web compendium on green infrastructure system (C-GINs) with several case studies to guide the community of practice (https://www.cseindia.org/c-gins/home).
During past two months, we have realigned the ongoing capacity building work with the increased focus on online trainings to capacitate managers, regulators and practitioners (both private and government) for mainstreaming good practices and we have rescheduled our residential trainings and exposure visits to later date.
In this endeavour, we are pleased to put forward this bi-monthly newsletter exhibiting, updates, publications, training, events and more.
We look forward to hearing impact stories of change from all our alumni, partners and readers.
Your suggestions and feedback are welcome.

Best regards,
Suresh Kumar Rohilla
