This presentation describes the effort of Indo Rama, Butibori in carrying out production of polyester yarns, fiber and chips in an environmentally conscious manner and its work in conserving and harvesting water in its industrial processes and premises. In particular, it discusses the clean technologies used in production such as –

• Reduction in steam consumption at PSF Plant and in CP (through use of Zimmer technology-based glycol ejector)
• Reduction of drift losses in cooling towers by replacement of eliminators
• Conversion of condensate to flash steam and its reuse in boilers

This brief by Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy (IATP) acknowledges that climate, water and agriculture are the three important factors that are facing severe crisis in recent years and argues that it is necessary to recognise that these three factors cannot be viewed in isolation, but as converging, interdependent and interconnected factors.

The convergence of these three factors means that solutions to the crisis cannot be found in isolation, but need to be complementary, that move away from dominant industrial agricultural models, to models that are sustainable and just.

The Global Annual Assessment of Sanitation and Drinking-Water (GLAAS) is a UN-Water initiative implemented by the World Health Organization (WHO). The objective of UN-Water GLAAS is to provide policy makers at all levels with a reliable, easily accessible, comprehensive and global analysis of the evidence to make informed decisions in sanitation and drinking-water.

With over 2.6 billion people living without access to improved sanitation facilities, and nearly 900 million people not receiving their drinking-water from improved water sources, UN-Water GLAAS highlights where efforts stagnate in achieving the Millennium Development Goal Target 7.C.¬ to halve, by 2015, the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking-water and basic sanitation. It also highlights the post-2015 challenges that need to be addressed by the United Nations system to collectively support its Member States.
