This is a planning grant to Independent Broadcasting Associates, Inc. to enable them to obtain and evaluate scientific data about the ecological condition of the Ganges river in South Asia in preparation for a series of documentaries for National Public Radio. The series would combine both science and humanities to consider the meaning of the river in terms of the broad continuum of the Ganges ecosystem. During the planning stage, the PI will:review published literature and determine whether relevant unpublished information is obtainable;screen the obtainable information on the ecological condition of the Ganges/Padma river and identify major causes of the degradation of the river; contact relevant government related bodies within India in order to locate suitable experts and written reports; establish relationships with and conduct interviews amongst relevant non-governmental parties including scientists, industrialists and agriculturalists in order to facilitate future interactions for the purpose of producing the series ; and assess the suggestion that one of the problems with initiatives such as the Ganga Action Plan has been its reliance upon Western models -- both technological and conceptual -- which are often inappropriate to local conditions and realities.

这是对独立广播协会公司的规划拨款。使他们能够获得和评估有关南亚恒河生态状况的科学数据，为国家公共广播电台的一系列纪录片做准备。 该系列将联合收割机结合科学和人文考虑的意义，河流的广泛连续性的恒河生态系统。在规划阶段，主要研究者将：审查已发表的文献，确定是否可获得相关的未发表信息;筛选可获得的关于恒河/帕德玛河生态状况的信息，并确定河流退化的主要原因;联系印度相关政府机构，以找到合适的专家和书面报告;与包括科学家、工业家和农业家在内的有关非政府组织建立关系并进行访谈，以促进今后为制作系列而进行的互动;并评估这样一种说法，即《恒河行动计划》等倡议的问题之一是依赖西方模式-无论是技术上的还是概念上的-而这些模式往往不适合当地的条件和现实。
