Effects of galaxy environment on its cold gas content are studied in detail using different date sets and statistics. These include measuring the clustering of galaxies as a function of their Hi mass fraction, quantifying the depletion of Hi gas content of cluster galaxies as a function of cluster-centric radius, and comparing the dependence of environmental density on galaxy star formation rate with the dependence on Hi gas mass fraction. Results from these studies are all consistent with a picture in which ram-pressure stripping may play an important role in removing atomic gas from the outer disks of low mass satellite galaxies.
