Dear Vijay,

I should congratulate you and your organization for developing this portal. The portal is definitely a rich source of information on water, what distinguishes it from other portals is its exhaustiveness and action oriented nature.

I will go through every page in detail, and send you my feedback. Just a quick note -

Rainwater harvesting: You have given the best sources to read. The knowledge base created by Shree Padre, Anupam Mishra, and Rajendra Singh is in depth, yet simple to understand. It would be great if you can send a video of Anupam Mishra's presentation on rainwater harvesting.
Wastewater: You may contact Prof H S Shankar, IIT Bombay to get more content for this section.

In all the sections, the basics part need to be explained in a further simple language so that a person who is completely unaware of water issues is guided through gradually.

Thanks once again for the wonderful portal.
Regards,
Kiran
