THE INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE
OF THE BENGAL AND HIMALAYAN BASINS

MISSION

Our mission is to develop and implement models for proper watershed management, the remediation of toxic ground and surface waters in California and on the Indian subcontinent, and to deploy this knowledge throughout the world. As pure water for hydration, sanitation, and agriculture becomes increasingly scarce as a result of climate change and other environmental crises, such efforts will become increasingly urgent.

VISION

With our cofounder and advisor, Charles H. Townes, we believe that advances of modern science and technology can and should be shared with all people including the least fortunate. For the future of our children, we must do our utmost preserve nature and all species that contribute to the ecological balance of our planet. We must find and implement solutions that respect our environment and maintain the balance of nature.
