WELL Labs Signs MoU with Jal Jeevan Mission Assam
WELL Labs signed an MoU with Jal Jeevan Mission Assam on Thursday, October 24, 2024. It will work closely with the mission to create a strategic roadmap with actionable recommendations to enhance the resilience and source sustainability of water supply systems in Assam.
Assam is largely blessed with abundant water resources. However, the state faces significant challenges in securing sustainable and safe water supply for all its residents. Deep and inaccessible groundwater in the foothills, arsenic and fluoride-driven water quality challenges, and climate change-driven water supply disruptions need comprehensive management strategies.
The Government of Assam is committed to securing a sustainable water supply for future generations. WELL Labs has a team of hydrologists, hydrogeologists, and remote sensing experts who will collaborate with the department to achieve these aims.
“In this context, JJM, Assam has taken a proactive approach by partnering with WELL Labs, a leading water research and innovation organisation in India. This collaboration aims to develop a strategic roadmap document that will guide efforts to ensure the long-term sustainability of the state’s domestic water supply systems,” an official statement said.
The news was featured in Niyomiya Barta, and The Sentinel, among other publications.
