Excreta does matter - A report: March 4-5, 2013
On World Water Day, we release the report of the Second Anil Agarwal Dialogue: Excreta Does Matter. This two-day meeting attempted to join the dots between improper and inadequate sewage treatment and India's growing water crisis. It brought together about 500 people from NGOs, private sector, academia and the government to present and debate the challenges of urban sewage treatment and water supply.

It is about the way Indian cities (and perhaps other parts of the world that are similarly placed) will develop.
