Al Picardi, second from right, with National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) engineers examining plans for ash pond at Talcher Super Thermal Power Plant, Orissa State, Eastern India (1992). Picardi dealt with the environmental issues during project preparation for a World Bank loan. The Talcher project undertook a hydrological survey for ongoing monitoring of potential ground water contamination. This early warning system was proposed by Picardi and became one of the conditionalities of the loan.
