Reporting on Sand Mining: Two-day online workshop
Sand is the world's most extracted material after water — and one of its least reported stories. (1/5)
A collaboration between us ISW / @veditum, @indiawater, and @SloganMurugan to find photos of healthy river banks from India!
Post a photo of a healthy riverbank from India, use #SandBanksOfIndia and tag us. Tell us which river it is and where the photograph was taken.
1/3
Relevant posts will be reshared from these accounts! We will feature the photos on @veditum's website, the @SloganMurugan blog, and @indiawater. We will showcase selected images at the India Sand Watch 3 year event (24th October - Saturday), as well.
2/3
We will reshare these photos with credits to you, & you will always retain your copyright on your photos!
This is an ongoing campaign, but randomly selected posts will get some stickers/ books/ postcards from @veditum and @IndiaWater. So get posting!

In no universe is it legal to mine rivers & river banks this way. What a ridiculous state of affairs for the River Ken as it flows through Banda
Thanks @AshishsagarD for your relentless work on documenting this atrocity, & your attempts to stop it. cc @indiasandwatch @DM_Banda1

ALT Poster inviting contributions to the annual fundraising campaign by Veditum India Foundation. The link to donate is: veditum.org/VFC25-26 The poster has an image in the background that shows a man in white clothes carrying a red bag, walking along the banks of a river. The river is running across the screen in the bottom half of the poster, with a little bit of the near bank visible. The banks are made up of ochre yellow lose soil, with sparse vegetation but some huge trees are present.
