🗃️ More Rivers
10–15 rivers total across at least 4 zones.
All zone pages live with real river cards.
Our Rivers — Phased Roadmap
Our Rivers — Phased Roadmap
Section titled “Our Rivers — Phased Roadmap”This page shows where Our Rivers is going — version by version, from the first four rivers to a complete, live, AI-augmented database of every significant Indian river.
Each version has a clear scope, a clear goal, and clear success criteria. Nothing is added to a version unless it is needed to prove that version’s goal.
Where we are now
Section titled “Where we are now”The blueprint is written. The schema is confirmed. The folder structure is defined. Four demo rivers are chosen. The first build is in progress.
v0.01 — Proof of Concept
Section titled “v0.01 — Proof of Concept”Goal: Prove the architecture works. Show the vision to the world.
| Dimension | Detail |
|---|---|
| Rivers | 4 — Kaveri, Mahanadi, Seonath, Netravati |
| Zones | 2 live (Kaveri, Mahanadi) + 7 stubs |
| Data entry | 100% manual |
| DB | Local Postgres, queried at build time |
| Automation | None |
| Live data | Triveni-net component mounted, showing “coming soon” |
| Map | Placeholder only |
| Contributors | Team only |
Done when: All 4 rivers browsable, all 7 sub-pages rendering, all stub zones accessible, no broken pages, vision clearly communicable to anyone who visits.
v0.1 — First Real Version
Section titled “v0.1 — First Real Version”Goal: Open to contributors. Make data feel fresh. Grow to ~15 rivers.
🔄 Cron Rebuild
Weekly automated rebuild.
”Last updated X days ago” badge live on all river pages.
👥 Contributors
Structured contribution process for adding new rivers.
Editorial review before any DB row is published.
📱 Mobile layouts
All layout templates verified and optimised for mobile readers.
Additional fields added to schema in v0.1:
main_pollution_sources · known_hotspot_stretches · monitoring_station_count
Done when: A contributor outside the core team can successfully add a river from scratch and see it published after review.
v1 — Complete Zone Coverage
Section titled “v1 — Complete Zone Coverage”Goal: All 9 zones live. Semi-automated data. Map component. Triveni-net connected.
| Feature | Detail |
|---|---|
| Rivers | ~30 total — all 9 zones have at least 2–3 rivers |
| Automation | Scripts pull from India-WRIS and CPCB to pre-fill periodic fields |
| Editorial gate | All automated data reviewed before publishing |
| Map component | Basic interactive river map per zone — course, tributaries, pollution colour-coding |
| Triveni-net | Live strip component connected for rivers with sensor coverage |
| Suggestion system | Popup/icon appears when pollution_index: critical — links to Pollution Library and Get Involved |
| Search | All river fields indexed and searchable within Nadikosh |
A reader visiting /our-rivers/ganga-zone/ will see:
- A zone aggregate stats panel showing all Ganga basin rivers in the DB
- An interactive map of the Ganga basin with rivers coloured by pollution index
- A cards grid for every river in the zone — live
pollution_indexdata, Triveni-net strip where available
A researcher visiting /our-rivers/kaveri/health/ will see:
- A live reading strip at the top — DO, BOD, turbidity — powered by Triveni-net
- Weekly-updated pollution index with timestamp
- Known hotspot stretches and main pollution sources
- A cross-link suggestion: *“Pollution is critical on 2 stretches — explore Pollution Library”
Done when: All 9 zones have real data, the map renders for at least 2 zones, Triveni-net is connected for at least 1 river, and automated data flow is proven end-to-end.
v2 — Intelligence & Scale
Section titled “v2 — Intelligence & Scale”Goal: AI/ML data pipeline live. Advanced map. Full sensor coverage via Triveni-net.
| Feature | Detail |
|---|---|
| Rivers | Full zone coverage — all significant named rivers |
| AI/ML pipeline | Automated extraction from satellite imagery, news, research publications |
| Human validation | All AI-proposed data reviewed and approved before publishing |
| Advanced map | Flowing diagram with pollution hotspots, flow density, seasonal animation |
| Triveni-net | Live data for all rivers with available sensor coverage |
| Data freshness | Periodic fields updated daily for high-priority rivers |
| Cross-section intelligence | Suggestion system reads Triveni-net live data — alerts based on real-time readings |
Full Vision — The Destination
Section titled “Full Vision — The Destination”🗺️ Every significant river
Every named river in India with permanent or seasonal flow — documented, profiled, and maintained.
⚡ Three layers, always fresh
Static facts permanently accurate.
Periodic data updated continuously.
Live sensor readings in real time via Triveni-net.
🤖 AI-maintained at scale
An AI/ML pipeline that monitors, extracts, validates, and proposes data updates — with humans as the final gate before publishing.
🌐 The reference standard
The place every student, researcher, devotee, NGO, journalist, and government body goes first when they need to understand an Indian river.
