A river-concerned, not professionally but personally, people was behind this initiative.
By the first half of 2009, after several sitting and non-formal discussion over phone, facebook and face to face, a small group of university students and fresh graduates decided to organize themselves a little bit seriously beyond facebook activities on riverine issues.
