The river Yamuna, a major tributary of the Ganges, comes down to Delhi from the Himalayas. Its been coming down for over 50 million years , running its banks during the monsoon , swollen with water and depositing sands on its floodplain. This sandy layer on top is now about 40 meters deep and 100sq km in area - that's a lot.
In the light of this violation of their natural heritage - the protected area of the floodplains, we ask citizens, schools, colleges, foundations, organizations, individuals to mark out an area of this invaluable resource that they can adopt for protection from pollution and encroachments by writing to the Lt. Governor for permission to do so. For the value of the floodplain we refer the reader to the Knowledge Section (I) of the site. You can seek help from us and inform us of your initiative
