Sediment Stories is a series of conversations about river sediments – from creation to extraction, hosted by India Sand Watch at Veditum India Foundation. See past & upcoming sessions here: https://veditum.org/sedimentstories/

For our 10th session, we spoke with conservation biologist Tarun Nair on the topic - The Gharial Perspective on How Flow Regimes Shape River Ecosystems & Species Ecologies

Tarun leads Programme Makara at the Wildlife Conservation Trust. His work has largely focused on understanding the conservation needs of gharials in North-Central India, particularly along the Chambal, Son and Gandak Rivers.

About us:

India Sand Watch (http://sandwatch.in) is an open-data project by Veditum (http://veditum.org/) to collect, collate and archive data on sand mining.

The project aims to improve accountability, enable and inform further research, support reporting and legal action. It offers possibilities to further the work through new imaginations. Sediment Stories is one such imagination, as are our ongoing experiments with Data Sprints.
