About the Book: Shades Of Blue: Connecting the Drops in Indias Cities
For millennia, our cities have prospered and grown in the cradles of
civilization-fertile lands blessed with rivers, lakes, seas and oceans. From the
origins of life on earth, right down to its downfall, biblical or otherwise,
water has been integral to the human story...
In this passionate and extensively researched tribute to the elixir that
sustains us all, authors Harini Nagendra and Seema Mundoli take us on a
panoramic view of the water bodies of India and the urgent need to address their
emergent ecological threats. From the Yamuna in Delhi to the Cauvery in
Karnataka
