Toda vez que a Bertie, a Constance ou a Fernanda fazem um post falando da beleza de uma decoração feita de luzinhas, eu lembro desse cenário que fotografei em 2005. Eu tinha achado a decoração muito esquisita porque quando eu cheguei as luzes estavam apagadas e a gente só via as flores de plástico. Fez-se a mágica quando o interruptor mudou de posição! Foi a hupá mais linda que eu já vi na vida e a cerimônia inteira pode ser fotografada só com essa luz , um  clima intimista delicioso!

Water management and conservation is an essential component of sustainable regional planning. Surface as well as ground water knows no administrative boundaries and should be managed and conserved in a  coordinated way. The key issues affecting our water currently are:

Depletion of groundwater. Aquifers in coastal regions (as well as inland) all over India are reported to have turned saline because of salt water intrusion and groundwater levels are fast declining due to unsustainable extraction and inadequate recharge.

Surface water management. Most of the traditional irrigation tanks of south India today are in neglected conditions and are heavily silted up, having lost their original storage capacity. Additionally loss of forest cover has further led to soil erosion, disappearing biodiversity and finally poor groundwater recharge from the rains.

Ground and surface water pollution. While solid waste management is now slowly being recognized as an issue to be addressed in the urban setting, this awareness is only gradually extending to the rural areas. The problem is worsened by inappropriate sanitation and open defecation. Treatment of waste water will not only avoid ground and surface water pollution, but also make it available for re-use.

An Integrated Planning approach at a regional scale is the only way out for appropriate water management and conservation and we can do this in the Auroville, Pondicherry and surrounding areas by working in a coordinated way with the administrations of Pondicherry & Tamil Nadu (Villupuram & Cuddalore districts).

In light of these issues, Town and Country Planning, Government of Pondicherry, L’avenir d’Auroville, Pondy CAN and INTACH are organizing a consultation meet on “Water Management Through Integrated Planning and Regional Collaboration” to be held at Town Hall in Auroville on 15 May 2008. The Consultation Meet will bring together the concerned authorities from the administrations and experts who have worked in this region to address the water issue at regional scale and give recommendations for future water management and conservation. Dr. Harjit Singh Anand, IAS, Secretary, Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation (HUPA) will be the chief guest.

09.00 am – Tea

09.30 am – Welcome by Mr. Ramaswamy, IAS, Secretary, Auroville Foundation

White House honors library on Hoopa Reservation

Monday, January 14, 2008

The White House today presented a public library on the Hoopa Reservation in northern California with a 2007 National Medal for Museum and Library Services award.

First Lady Laura Bush honored the Kim Yerton Branch of the Humboldt County Library with $10,000. The library was the only one in California, and the only one in Indian Country, selected to receive the award.“We come from an area where a lot of our kids never saw books and have never handled a pen or pencil until they got to school,” Hoopa Chairman Clifford Lyle Marshall told The Sacramento Bee. “If we didn’t have the library, we wouldn’t have much. We wouldn’t have any place to do any type of research or study.” The tribe spends $60,000 a year to keep the library up and running. The county pays for the books.
