About The Client

Our client, Centre of Development Finance (CDF), wanted to develop a website to display online pollution maps. CDF works on improving the delivery of public goods that contribute to inclusive social and economic opportunity in India. The team at CDF consists of development practitioners as well as researchers from various domains.

Scope

The client wanted to develop a visual map to display complete, timely, and localized picture of pollution in India. This map would provide a visual representation of the data collected from pollution based parameters like level of air pollution, water pollution, etc. The client also desired that the prepared map should help in tapping down the regions getting affected by pollution to a great extent, and identify the reasons responsible for causing such damage.

About The Project

Keeping the client’s requirement in mind, we prepared a website with an online map representing the pollution rate across the nation. The map also highlights the regions where major changes have taken place in the environment because of pollution. At the same time, this overall program would also help in identifying the necessary steps that needs to be taken to check the development of pollution related problems.

The project was divided into two sections:

• Elaborating the national and international measures for checking the level of pollution; technologies for monitoring and improving the regulatory standards for measuring and monitoring pollution in India.
• Drawing attention to the existing gap in policy and practice that in turn would fuel advocacy efforts.
