Q. A Dutch company wants to do research on innovative drinking water projects in India and is looking for information on drinking water quality issues in India.
A.. The Netherlands Water Partnership (NWP) (www.nwp.nl) and the Partners for Water programme (www.partnersvoorwater.nl), are two initiatives, which provide information and financial support, respectively, for Dutch water business ventures.
