Wastewater Reuse and Recycling
A tale of two STPs
Posted on 20 Sep, 2013 04:51 PMThe venerable Imperial Gazetteer says, 'Viewed from a distance Lucknow presents a picture of unusual magnificence and architectural splendour, which fades on nearer view ...' (Imperial Gazetteer of India, v. 16, p. 196).

Sanawar school makes good use of its sewage
Posted on 20 Sep, 2013 04:46 PMIf you visit Shimla during the summers, you will notice people being asked to use water judiciously. You will likely see tankers queue up around residential areas as the supply from the municipal corporation declines. Why would a hill station that is fed by mountain rivers and overlooked by glorious snow peaks face water scarcity?

Ingenious system to manage sewage in Kolkata
Posted on 11 Sep, 2013 08:48 PMThey take your pain and give you what you need. They will absorb the excess showers that our cities can’t handle and replenish water underground when our taps run dry. Often underestimated, these shallow water bodies are also home to countless life forms and serve as winter destinations for distant migratory birds. Blame me for being philosophical but I equate wetlands to mothers.

Sustainable living: it's simple!
Posted on 26 Jun, 2013 04:00 PMOasis Breeze and Mana Sarovar Apartments are two apartment complexes like any other in Bangalore. They have a huge water problem. Residents use water without realising how much they are wasting and depend on water tankers without realising how much they are using. To monitor better usage, individual water meters were set up in each household of the apartments.

Sweet smell of success: Human waste fertilises land & turns farmers wealthy in Bangalore
Posted on 17 Mar, 2013 05:07 PMHuman excreta is loaded with nutrients, which when disposed off discriminately, increases pollution and leads to a loss of resources. On an average a human being produces some 500 litres of urine and 50 kilograms of faeces a year, sufficient to fertilise plants that would produce more than 200 kilograms of cereals!
