Dear Friends,  Greetings from MASS & Water Initiatives Orissa !  We are compiling a country strategy paper on "Climate Change and Drinking Water and Sanitation" that will form the base for a National Workshop on the subject, we will be holding shortly. For this paper, we are looking for good studies & reports that narrate impacts of climate change in water and sanitation. We are also seeking examples of adaptation and mitigation, especially community based approaches. Please lead us to any reports and web links that you think would help us get a real picture of these issues in general and India in specific.  May we also request you to kindly share with us your ideas and experiences on the subject and also please let us know if you think you can participate in the workshop and contribute a paper. At present we are looking forward to "Abstracts" of papers that individuals and institutions can present in the workshop and would shortly write to people with further details on the workshop. However, it would be highly appreciated if you could share your ideas and abstracts asap so that we can plan the final list of participants. Selected participants will be provided with travel and logistics by the organisers.  Looking forward to hear from you at the earliest.  Thanks and regards,  Ranjan -- Ranjan K Panda Dhanupali, Sambalpur 768005, Orissa, INDIA Mobile: +919437050103 Skype: ranjan.climatecrusader A TRULY EVOLVED BEING IS ONE THAT VALUES OTHERS MORE THAN IT VALUES ITSELF....
