Jalaposhan and BIOME Trust came together to organize the making of two floating wetlands for the lake. Citizens as well as energetic students of Shrishti School of Design participated enthusiastically in the making of these wetlands. The total cost of each came to Rs. 2500.
This activity was a great learning exercise to understand the role of an urban lake and wetlands that aid in the improvement of lake water quality.
Below are some photos of all the fun that took place!

Is flotation given only by the air in the PVC pipes? A report on DW also mentioned plastic bottles. Are these inside the pipes? It would be nice to describe the method also. Congrats on this work.
