The Kuttamperoor River in Southern India, once biologically dead and polluted, has been rejuvenated thanks to a collaborative effort between the local community, the Kerala state government, and the Budhanoor village council. The river, which served as a source of life for the area, had been choked with weeds and garbage, leading to floods and the contamination of groundwater sources. Over five years and with a budget of around $1.5 million, the river has been cleaned up and now supports fish and other animals, with its flow width increasing significantly. The success of the project has gained national attention, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighting it in a national radio address.
