Jumping in with a quick update:
We recently reached a new milestone with the India Sand Watch project.
We’ve been able to digitise over 1000 news reports - corresponding to 15000+ data points. And all of this data is accessible without the need to login anywhere! Data downloads to be available soon - and a long term plan is in the works for an API based access as well, so that this can feed into other databases.
We created a short report about this, here’s the cover page:
And here’s the report in pdf form:

You can checkout the news report related data on this link: India Sand Watch
We also did a Data Sprint recently, a record and report of which can be seen in this post on grove - River Chambal Data Sprint - 13th January - 12pm IST | India Sand Watch
Join us as partners / contributors. We would love to explore how data from India Sand Watch can intersect with your work to push for incremental changes. Slide into my DMs or email me at [email protected]!
