Climate challenge is a program The BBC World has started this quarter as part of the Climate watch season. Looking at various concerns including global warming as part of the climate change, the last episode is looking at issues affecting areas including India like River Nila.
When The BBC World team came, they shot for almost two days continuously. The dead river, dried up catchment areas, paddy fields (with surprisingly good harvests), coastal areas where sea water came rising from the earth!, dried forests areas and places that have touched temperates of more than 40 degree Celsius in March in Kerala. Many interviews were done with farmers, fishermen and women in the paddy fields.
I remember seeing Arun's eyes popping out when the Justin told him that the whole shoot will be edited into a 4 minutes program. Wonder how! Anyways, the program is shown globally on the BBC World Climate challenge program on the 28th of this month.
Climate Watch: Your View
Saturday 28th April at 1430 GMT
Repeated: Saturday 28th at 2130 and Sunday 29th at 0430 and 0930 GMT

Hope this program will bring in some attention on to our sadly neglected river. Even though we feel that the global warming and climate changes are some of the reasons for degradation of water sources in the river, we believe that one of the major problems for the death of this once mighty river will remain to be human interventions.
Unless there is a change in attitude in the society!
