• Traditionally, river water quality is looked at in isolation, without understanding its socio-economic cost. As a logical extension of Water-to-Cloud Project, under which researchers at the University of Chicago monitor water quality of several rivers in real time through automated, mobile sensors, the Tata Centre for Development at UChicago collaborated with the Centre for Community Knowledge (CCK) at Ambedkar University and Ashoka University to understand the concerns of the riverine communities and correlate data on water quality with the ground reality.• Analyzed the impact of pollution of Yamuna River on socio-economic parameters of 5 different communities directly dependent on the river, through secondary research and primary data collection at 4 field sites in Delhi.• Developed a high-quality report on ‘Socio-Economic Impact of River Pollution: Case of Yamuna’ with the findings, narratives and recommendations.• Conducted an event ‘Revitalising Yamuna: Alternate Imaginations’ at The UChicago Centre, New Delhi which included an exhibition, panel discussion and presentation of our findings, attended by 200 visitors.
