However, little is known about how such conjoined initiatives articulate with social inequity when up-scaled into formal government programmes. In 2014, the Government of Maharashtra institutionalised an integrative green-blue water conservation campaign to make 5000 new villages drought-free each year (2015- 2019). This paper analyses the extent to which the campaign, Jalyukt Shivar Abhiyan, enhanced the capture, equity, and sustainability of water for agricultural risk reduction. We find government interests to demonstrate villages as 'drought-free' affected the character and implementation of this integrative campaign.

Nogi, MPH Email: [email protected] Phone: (206) 553-1841, or call 1-800-424-4372 and request x-1841 EPA PROPOSES NPDES PERMIT REISSUANCE The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposes to reissue the NPDES General Permit to discharge pollutants from Groundwater Remediation Facilities to waters of the United States (U.S.) in Idaho. In order to ensure the protection of water quality and human health, the Groundwater Remediation Discharge Facilities General Permit (GWGP) establishes limits on the types and amounts of pollutants that can be discharged as well as other conditions on facilities authorized to discharge under the Permit. This GWGP does not provide coverage for discharges from mining operations which are now covered by an administrative extension of the previous General Permit (NPDES Permit No. IDG910000; expired as of June 30, 2012). However, the EPA intends to issue a mining-specific general permit at a later date. Those mining facilities which have extended coverage under the previous permit must continue to operate in compliance with the limits and conditions of IDG910000 until a new permit is issued.

Major contamination sources from industry, agriculture and urban areas have not been put under strict control. The accumulation, mobilization and toxicity of various contaminants in soils and groundwater are threatening the natural environment as well as the sustainable development of China. Remediation is the only way to clean up the contaminants in soils and groundwater. General technical methodologies include transfer of contaminants solely by themselves, with contaminated soils, or groundwater to other places for
