What I have now done is set up some 'notes' to guide some filling in of missing rivers http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/2013_North_India_floods#River_mapping
As I say, we could also do a task manager job over the city of Dehradun http://osm.org/go/zm8r~jUM- I didn't set this up I'm going out now to give a training course in OpenStreetMap to some people here in London. Maybe I'll get them all to do some mapping here.

Can we create a hot job on the tasks.hotosm.org and link it to the wiki?
