COIMBATORE: The recent Madras high court verdict ordering the closure of all dyeing units in Tirupur in an attempt to protect the dying Noyyal river will inspire movements across the world for protection of rivers and water bodies for future generations, said Dr Yoram Oren of Ben-Gurion University in Israel.
An internationally renowned water expert, Yoram was in Coimbatore on Tuesday to address a seminar on water management strategies organised by Karunya University. An expert on desalination and reverse osmosis, it is the second time that Yoram is in the city. During his first visit, he stayed at the university for four months, and helped set up a unique elctro-chemical water lab at the water institute, which, according to Yoram, can purify even the most contaminated water. A passionate advocate of water rights, Yoram visited Tirupur before reaching Coimbatore and interacted with people living on the shores of Noyyal river.
