The following two groups are responsible for me becoming more water-aware in my life.
1) International Rivers Network
2) Narmada Bachao Andolan
Both these organizations have been valuable as myth-busters on a number of issues that I have previously considered as facts and learned to accept as the "scientific-truth"
Myths in point:
1) Hydro power is a clean source of renewable energy
2) Big dams are the most effective means of relieving the world from water shortages
3) Development and Hydro-power projects go together
By shattering these 3 myths for me, these organizations helped me understand more complex issues surrounding water, politics and human rights and I take this opportunity to Salute them!
