Clean-Water Shortlisted Among India’s Top 26 Urban Climate Resilience Teams
We are happy to share that Clean-Water was shortlisted among the final 26 teams for the Urban Climate Resilience Challenge, a joint initiative by EarthON Foundation and Greenovation Hub.

Sonam Mandani, Our CTO represented Clean-Water at the fully funded bootcamp in Delhi from 27 to 29 August, where we got to learn, connect, and present our work alongside other climate-focused teams.
We were also awarded ₹50,000 in prize money in recognition of our work.
The challenge also allows us to explore up to ₹1 crore in equity or debt investment to scale our solutions.

The challenge was won by KabadiMan from Karnataka, who received ₹3 lakh in prize money.

At Clean-Water, our focus remains on improving the water quality of waterbodies through bioengineered floating wetlands, floating solar aerators, and beneficial microbial cultures sustainably.
If your NGO, CSR team, government body, or institution is working on waterbody rejuvenation, let’s connect.

I was recently invited by ORIENTAL UNIVERSITY, Indore, to deliver an expert lecture as part of their AICTE ATAL Faculty Development Program.
The session focused on an area close to my work: “Artificial Intelligence Applications in Floating Wetlands for Sustainable Water Management.”

It was an opportunity to discuss how AI can complement nature-based solutions and help us make waterbody restoration more scientific, data-driven, and effective.
Thank you to the team at Oriental University for the invitation and for creating a platform for this important conversation.

Veer Kunwar Singh Pond, Arrah: Media Recognition
Our waterbody rejuvenation project at Veer Kunwar Singh Pond in Arrah, Bihar has been featured in 20+ news articles.
The project focused on improving water quality through nature-based solutions, including 4 bioengineered floating wetlands and 72 kg of Beneficial Microbial Cultures.

Our products floating wetlands and beneficial microbial cultures are used to create an impact on the waterbody and the people who use the space.
This project is another step in our journey of bringing practical, science-backed solutions to degraded waterbodies.

If you are an NGO, CSR team, government body, or institution looking to rejuvenate a lake or pond with a focus on water quality and ecological improvement, reach out to Clean-Water.

Murdha Lake, Mumbai: A Visible Step Towards Recovery
Murdha Lake in Mira Bhayandar is a ~1 acre urban waterbody surrounded by dense residential areas.
For years, the lake faced food waste, religious offerings, untreated runoff and continuous human activity.
This led to poor water quality, high turbidity, and ecological stress.

As part of our collaboration with a reputed NGO, Clean-Water deployed three bioengineered floating wetlands and three aerators at the lake.
The floating wetlands help absorb excess nutrients and support natural biological processes. The aerators improve dissolved oxygen and water circulation.
The results have been encouraging.

Murdha Lake has shown clear ecological recovery, with improved water quality and elimination of coliform.
This is what focused waterbody rejuvenation can achieve when the right solutions are combined with continuous monitoring.

At Clean-Water, we work towards restoring water quality while also improving the ecological and visual health of urban waterbodies.

Flash Floods Are Becoming a Recurring Warning Across Mountain Regions

Nepal is facing one of its worst flood disasters in recent years, with 165 people reported dead and more than 800 still missing or out of contact.

The flash flood near the Nepal–Tibet border was linked to a glacial collapse and debris flow.

But this is not an isolated event.

We have seen similar disasters across the region:

Sikkim, India, 2023: The South Lhonak glacial lake outburst led to devastating floods along the Teesta River.

Uttarakhand, India, 2021: A sudden flash flood in Chamoli killed more than 200 people and damaged major infrastructure.

Kedarnath, India, 2013: A glacial lake breach contributed to flash flooding that devastated the region.

Research indicates that the average number of glacial lake outburst floods per decade is now nearly five times higher than before 1950.
Glacier melt, sudden heavy rainfall, landslides and unstable mountain terrain can combine to create flash floods with very little warning.
With climate change increasing these risks, early warning systems, better watershed management and climate-resilient infrastructure are becoming essential.

Mandli Lake, Mumbai: Restoring Water Quality Through Nature-Based Solutions
Mandli Lake, located in Mira Bhayandar, Maharashtra, is an urban waterbody spread across ~1 acre and surrounded by dense residential areas.
Like many urban lakes, it has faced years of pressure from food waste, religious offerings, untreated runoff and continuous human activity.
The result has been high turbidity, biological contamination and ecological degradation.

As part of our collaboration with a reputed NGO, Clean-Water has deployed six bioengineered floating wetlands and six aerators at Mandli Lake.
Mandli is currently in an active remediation phase.
With a higher pollution load and continuing external inflows, restoration requires consistent intervention and monitoring.

Our focus is on achieving long-term water quality improvement and ecological stability.
This project is part of our work across Mandli and Murdha Lakes in Mira Bhayandar, where nature-based solutions are being used to restore degraded urban waterbodies.

At Clean-Water, our waterbody rejuvenation projects focus on two outcomes: improving water quality and enhancing the beauty and ecological value of waterbodies.
If you are an NGO, CSR team, government body, or institution working on waterbody rejuvenation, reach out to us.

Veer Kunwar Singh Park Pond, Arrah, Bihar
A degraded waterbody can be transformed with the right intervention.
At Veer Kunwar Singh Park Pond, Arrah, Clean-Water completed the installation of 4 bioengineered floating wetlands along with 72 kg of Beneficial Microbial Cultures (BMC).

The floating wetlands support nutrient removal and ecological recovery, while BMC helps accelerate the breakdown of organic matter and improve water quality.
The installation has been completed, with regular maintenance to be managed by the client.

This is the kind of focused, nature-based intervention that can help restore urban waterbodies.
