Tibetan Charity Lha Charitable Trust has been mentioned in an article in the Indian Tribune which credits their programme of installing reverse osmosis water filtration systems in the Tibetan community in north India. The Tribune article says Cynthia Travis, a hydro geologist from America, has tested the water in McLeod Ganj and found it contaminated with bacteria, viruses and parasites caused by damaged water supply pipes and leaking septic tanks.
