Under the Memorandum of Understanding Water between India and the Netherlands the Joint Working Group Water decided to combine the Clean Ganga Program (NMCG) and Water as Leverage Program (WaL). WaL is of great interest for NMCG because it explores the relation between water and the city, involvement of stakeholders and urban water management. The ambition of NMCG is to implement WaL in 100 cities along the Ganga.
