As a result, the citizens of the world's largest democracy live amidst extreme environmental degradation. Existing governance structures have been hard pressed to cope with the pace of the complex and rapidly evolving dynamics of economic and climate change. Toxic air and septic waters are simply collateral damage in this circumstance. They are the indicator of complex urban problems that need a holistic and multidisciplinary approach. The Yumuna River Project aims to help the city of New Delhi and its stakeholders reimagine and transform the sacred, yet polluted, Yamuna River by offering a research-based solution for dysfunctional river-city environments
