Mughal: yes, we allow topics on rivers if it's related to sanitation. In this case, I am assuming that we are mainly talking about water pollution from wastewater that is being discharged untreated into rivers and lakes - right? So there would be a clear connection to sanitation there.

Elisabeth: Do you allow topic on rivers on the forum?

Dear Sanjay,

Aral sea (not river) was dead, and now, probably has been brought back to life. There is no such case in Pakistan.

Dear Sanjay,
I can't really picture how you would set this directory up and who could add to it? It reminds me a little bit of two existing pages on Wikipedia which might inspire you:
- Water pollution in India: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_pollution_in_India
- Indian states and union territories ranked by prevalence of open defecation en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_states_and_...e_of_open_defecation

Perhaps it might be easier and more impactful to follow that approach and add to Wikipedia instead of creating something new?

Regards,
Elisabeth

I have started compiling All India directory , district wise , of dead rivers and waterbodies those have any time successfully been revived .

Rivers and waterbodies those being revived and those identified to be revived are also being listed .

This directory will be online and do miracle in rivers and waterbodies revival domain .

Do you please see possibilities of compiling such online directory for various member nations ? I feel , this surely should be extremely good for various nations .

Kind regards
