The Centre for Environment Education (CEE), in partnership with HDB Financial Services, is launching an innovative initiative to combat water pollution through the installation of trash barriers in small rivers and canals.This initiative, focusing on four states in India (Gujarat, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and Uttar Pradesh), aims to intercept floating plastic debris and other pollutants at the source, preventing them from flowing into larger bodies of water. By implementing these cost-effective, locally-relevant waste collection systems, the project aligns with India's National Mission for Clean Ganga, UNEP's Tide Turners Plastic Challenge, and the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. It targets both urban and rural areas, addressing the dual challenges of waste management and ecosystem restoration.

The project involves assessing and selecting six high-priority locations based on pollution levels and solid waste issues, followed by the installation of tailored trash barriers to intercept waste. Key components include engaging local communities, particularly through SHGs, Gram Panchayats, and urban local bodies, to promote sustainable waste management practices. Monitoring will track the effectiveness of the trash barriers, with goals to reduce plastic waste by 50%, train 50 stakeholders, and maintain 90% operational status of the barriers. Expected outcomes include a significant reduction in visible trash and improved water quality, benefiting both local ecosystems and community well-being.
