Arkavathi River Interactive Map

Explore findings from Paani.Earth’s study in collaboration with the International Centre for Clean Water, IIT Madras, alongside government monitoring locations and findings from other research studies.

Turn different map layers on and off to see the river’s drainage network, industrial areas and other features that provide context to what we found.

Exploring the map

Turn on the Paani study points and click on each point to explore detailed findings from the analysis of the water and sediment samples from that location. You can also explore data from government monitoring locations and findings from other research studies included on the map.

Use the different map layers to explore the river system, locate yourself within the Arkavathi Basin or use the search button to find a known location.

Why this map Matters

Water and sediment quality findings make more sense when we can see where they were recorded and what surrounds them. Bringing together our findings, government monitoring data, other research and the wider landscape can help build a more complete picture of what is happening across the river system.
