The polluted waters of the River Yamuna at Wazirabad on the
outskirts of New Delhi, 15 June 2007. From a boat on the Yamuna
River that flows past India's capital, it's easy to spot bubbles
of fetid gas sent up to the water's surface by rotting sewage
-- and that's after at least 350 million dollars has been spent
on cleaning it up

In this picture taken 15 March 2005, local women walk along
an irrigation canal outside the village of Mahavirji, some 120
kms upstream from India's most prestigous bird sanctuary and
World Heritage site, the Keoladeo National Park in Bharatpur,
in India's northwestern state of Rajasthan. Only 5,500 of the
15-17,00 migratory birds that regularly visit the park arrived
this year, as lakes and ponds have turned to slush pools due
to a massive protest by farmers who have turned the water source
to their farm-lands

Indian workers, wearing protective gears, dismantle decomissioned
ships at a shipbreaking yard in Alang, some 260 kilometres south
of the Indian state of Gujarat's capital, Ahmedabad, 21 January
2006. Dockworkers say that the decomissioned asbestos-laden
French warship Clemenceau -- whose fate has become an international
controversy -- should be beached at Alang and broken up since
the locals need the work. After a 10-day dispute about the quantity
of asbestos insulation, which poses a workers' safety and environmental
hazard, the decomissioned French aircraft carrier entered the
Suez canal Sunday as it headed for India to be broken up for
scrap
